Art Lovers Revel in Ein-Hod
None
EIN-HOD - It all started in 1953, when Dada movement founder, painter Marcel Yanko, dreamed of establishing a community where Israeli artists could work and reside.
Yanko, who had been working at the time as an architect for the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet Leisrael), came across the deserted Ein-Hod village in the Carmel Mountains in the north (the Arabs who had lived there fled their homes during the Independence War of 1948), and decided he would realize his dream there.
The first Ein-Hod residents built their homes with their own hands, and soon enough, the village became a center of attraction for the country's artists.
Ein-Hod offers several attractions for art enthusiasts, including a museum, art galleries, and artists' workshops, but one can also enjoy the simple pleasure of walking through the quaint streets and enjoying the remarkable view of the Carmel Mountain range overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
