The Jewish Art Salon is a group of accomplished scholars and artists, with our works showcased in galleries and museums around the globe.

We are committed to give exposure to the work of Jewish contemporary artists with the highest level of quality and innovation. Professional accomplished artists will be vetted based on their CV and the breadth and quality of their art.

We are primarily seeking members who are interested in being part of a community of creatives. If your primary interest is in participating in art exhibitions, this opportunity may not align with your goals.

Please note that our focus is on innovative fine art, rather than traditional Judaica ritual objects or any form of traditional art. We encourage you to view the slideshow on our homepage or visit our Fellows page to better understand our criteria.
