The explosive creativity of contemporary Jewish Art extends through the private and public worlds of exhibition and publication. Jewish Comics and contemporary Jewish “Fine” Art are both changing Jewish identity in new and unexpected ways. Come see painters, comic book artists, graphic novelists and authors discuss their creative process and what Judaism means to them. This experience is defining Judaism in ways unheard of in years past and is creating a body of work that will tell future generations what it means to be Jewish in the 21st Century.
