JAC is a membership opportunity for Minnesota-based Jewish artists with consistent, meaningful touchpoints that include weekly gatherings, monthly learning sessions, quarterly arts outings, annual exhibition/presentation opportunities, retreats, and so much more! As members, artists are welcome to come to all or some of these offerings. Connected by our shared Jewish heritage, JAC explores the intersection of Judaism, contemporary art, and its integral role in the community. Jewish themes and values inspire and inform our curriculum, and build around our yearly theme of Dreams. Artists will engage in text study, explore new artistic challenges, and respond to other forms of creative expression. We are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in all we do.
