Bezalel and the Israel Experience present an amazing opportunity for Jewish students and young adults who live and breathe art, to pursue their passion while they discover Israel.
Bezalel offers students a broad and multi-faceted scope of professional and artistic activities. Students receive a practical education at the highest level in addition to a broad-based intellectual foundation in arts and design, history, literature, philosophy, sociology, cultural studies and the fundamentals of scientific and technological thought. During the program, students are integrated into classes at Bezalel alongside Israeli students. They are introduced to new art and design techniques, while being given the freedom to develop their own artistic voice and style.
Bezalel and the Israel Experience invite young students from all around the world to join the academy for a unique, semester or year-long experience, discovering the world of art and design in a setting that emphasizes both academic and cultural growth in Israel’s holy city of Jerusalem.
