The Artists Village of Ein Hod sits on a hill overlooking the beaches of Atlit and a Crusaders’ fortress, off the old Tel Aviv-Haifa Highway. It was established in 1953, based on a concept devised by a group of artists led by Marcel Janco – building the first Israeli artists’ village to provide its residents with a supportive and creative framework. Though the first decades were hard, the founders persisted thanks to their ideals and vision, which promoted the only artists village in Israel.
