About Ein Hod

Founded in 1953 by the Dada artist Marcel Janco and a group of artists, Ein Hod is the only artists' village in Israel, and one of few of it's kind in the whole world.

Nestled in the heart of the Hof Carmel region, among olive groves and fruit orchards, the village glides down mount Carmel green hills to the sea shore. This pictorial setting is enhanced by the special and intensive cultural and diversified artistic scenario.

150 artists and their families inhabit Ein Hod. They live, work and create in the village in every cultural medium and field of endeavor. Through the years, the special atmosphere in the village has influenced the second and third generations into choosing to live here and become artists in their own rights.
