Patricia Eszter Margit of Art Kibbutz has invited the Jewish Art Salon to participate in two events at Limmud NY.
Panel: Radical Jewish art and community
Sunday January 15, 2012. 4:40 - 5:35 PM
With Marc Michael Epstein, Patricia Eszter Margit,
Greg Wall, Yona Verwer
Three Jewish cultural organization’s leaders discuss how their work creates community, encourages diversity, understanding, action, outstanding artistic expression, collaboration and new ways to connect to Jewish identity through art.
Panelists share their experiences about inspiring, innovative and relevant projects that foster 21st century Jewish culture and creativity, such as Art Kibbutz’s Shofar FlashMob, that involved artists in more than 20 international locations taking a post-modern twist (flashmob) on an ancient ritual (sounding the ram’s horn) enabling myriad of artistic interpretations. Jewish Art Salon’s Dura Europos Project brought together a diverse group of visual artists giving their responses to the very first visual presentation of Jewish culture. Rabbi Greg Wall at The Sixth Street Community Synagogue uses the arts to promote Jewish literacy among artists and their audiences.

This event will be a social occasion as well as an opportunity for artists and art lovers to create sketches and practice drawing. The musicians will serve as models. Participants are invited to portray the musicians artistic exchange in their sketches, or be inspired by their music.
Yona Verwer (Jewish Art Salon) will curate a pop-up exhibition from your best creations. Bring your own drawing board and art supplies – business cards or postcards to trade! All ages are welcome – you don’t have to be an artist to participate if you just wish to enjoy the music and drinks.
