MISSION STATEMENT
Motek Cultural Initiative (Motek) is a non-profit organization established to showcase modern Israeli music to diverse audiences. Motek began with a vision and dream for change! By showcasing and introducing talented Israeli artists to the mainstream, we foster a new generation's appreciation for Israel across multicultural communities. This awareness not only educates and promotes unity, but also enables Jews and Israelis to get back in touch with their roots.
Motek improves perceptions of Israel, using music as a tool to transcend the barriers of language, promoting positive attitudes and unity. Motek evolves in order to address our community’s needs in collaboration with various organizations, by hosting concerts, workshops, lecturers and Q&A sessions featuring top Israeli musicians.
OUR MISSION
> Establish the relevance of Israel amongst multi-cultural communities.
> Provide meaningful exposure for Israel’s contemporary musical icons within our local Jewish community.
> Engage our up-and-coming generation of community leaders, helping to nurture and maintain a strong and vibrant connection to Israel.
> Encourage collaboration between North American & Israeli artists
