The house was in the early twentieth century residence of Bezalel, founded in 1906. One of the promoters to build the home as the center of Jerusalem artists was Ludwig Blum. He later served as a national museum to the establishment of the Israel Museum in 1965.
The building is a center for exhibitions that present Israeli artists among them are the artists Tova Balman, Sharon Balaban, Uri Assaf, Pinchas Golan, Liat Polotsky, Menachem Selma, Hannah Goldberg (artist) and many others. Jerusalem Artists House exhibitions contain local and international artists changing monthly.[1] The exhibitions promote young Israeli artists and often host retrospectives of more well known artists. Since 2001 the National Biennale is hosted there - for registration.[2]
