Jewish Art: Tradition & Transformation
In celebration of the Jewish Food Festival in Nay Aug Park, the Everhart and the Jewish Discovery Center are hosting a special exhibition of work by Jewish artists and work inspired by Judaism. Jewish Art: Tradition & Transformation delves into traditional and modern aspects of Jewish cultures, as well as showcases secular works by Jewish artists. To coincide with the days of the Festival, the Museum will have additional hours and be open July 28–31, 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. daily.
Judaism is often viewed through the veil of tragedy and mystery. This exhibition seeks to transform our perspective by sharing the beauty of Jewish tradition and practice, lifting these veils to reveal a deeply meaningful and accessible connection. Through the universal appeal of art, audiences will find imagery to appreciate, enjoy, and draw inspiration from.
This exhibition includes the works Siegmund Forst, Hendel Futerfas, Yisrael Gelman, Sam Griffin, Steve Marcus, Zalmy Mochkin, Professor Moses, Yitzchok Moully, Michoel Muchnik, Rivka Nehorai, Brian Shapiro, Elke Sudin, and Rachel Udkoff.
