Al Hoash Gallery

East Jerusalem


Up a staircase on Al Zahra St, this art gallery is one of several Palestinian spaces that's part of the growing Jerusalem Arts Network. There isn't a permanent exhibition, so for a taste of the Palestinian art scene, check out the website or Facebook page to see what displays, talks, art tours, workshops and other cultural activities are happening when you're in Jerusalem.
