. Palestinian Art Court - al Hoash is a non profit Palestinian cultural organization based in Jerusalem. It was established in 2004 by a number of independent Palestinians who re cognized the crucial need for a professional body to revive and preserve visual arts being a major part of the Palestinian cultural identity. Al Hoash was founded with a vision to establish the first Palestinian Art Museum. The museum will be a national institute for the public to acquire, conserve, research, communicate and exhibit.
