The art fair remains the core
About one hundred Israeli artists from across the country present painting, ceramics, jewelry, textiles, Judaica, woodwork, and mixed media. Visitors therefore meet not only a finished cultural program but also individual makers and objects offered for sale. The festival remains grounded in the direct relationship between the hand, the material, and the public.
The fiftieth edition works with metal
The anniversary program uses metal as a shared material theme in installations, craft, and the visual design of the site. The choice shows that craft is not merely a nostalgic backdrop. A material can carry history while opening contemporary questions about sustainability, production, and the way a traditional technique becomes present day art.
Music takes over in the evening
A headline concert complements the fair each night. The program combines established Israeli performers with smaller stage formats. Family areas, street theater, and food bring in an audience beyond art collectors. The result is an urban festival where commercial sales, cultural experience, and public space support one another.
The location is part of the experience
The Sultan’s Pool sits below the walls of the Old City. Its historic panorama gives the contemporary program a powerful setting and creates practical demands. Official information distinguishes fair admission from combined concert tickets. Visitors should check the specific evening, transport options, and current program times before arriving.
