The ongoing Carmel Region forest fire has consumed what used to be a charming, picturesque artists’ village. Ein Hod was established in 1949 by new immigrants and became an artists’ village in 1953 at the initiative of Marcel Janco, a renowned Dada artist who organized an unusually diverse group of artists and craftspeople to settle among the ancient stone houses. About 500 residents have been, engaged in all areas of art from visual arts, painting, pottery and jewelry-making, to literature and theater. They supported themselves with their art, their galleries and by running workshops and educational activities. According to media reports the fire consumed the village. It would be great to support these talented artists who have lost their homes and much of their available pieces of art. You can find the main page to Ein-Hod community in the link
