Bezalel

In the Israeli landscape, Bezalel is unique and without competitor. This is for two reasons: It is the only art school that teaches arts and the crafts across a wide variety of disciplines, enabling an unusual synergy between them. And among all Israeli cultural institutions, it is the first and oldest, founded in 1906 by Boris Shatz. As the first cultural institution of Israel, it has accumulated a historical depth that no other institution has. Bezalel teaches plastic arts, architecture, photography, graphic art, design and crafts, ceramic, jewel-making, as well as academic courses in the history and theory of the arts. Bezalel has the unique power to train students that have a broad knowledge, skill and creativity.
