A FOCUS ON ORA: NW JEWISH ARTISTS



ORA: Northwest Jewish Artists has been a presence in Portland Oregon for the past 4 years.
Until recently, it was an all-women's group. Recently they have added men!

ORA is a driving force behind JAM (Jewish Arts Month). ORA means light in Hebrew. They will present their interpretations of light at a unique art exhibit at Elements Gallery and Hot Shop in NW 19th and Vaughn in the newly designated NoLo District (north of Lovejoy.) the show will open with a First Thursday celebration on March 4th and close at 4pm on Sunday, March 14th. They will also have a small exhibit in the MJCC lobby from March 7-12.

Over the span of the next few weeks, this blog will feature each of the ORA artists, but if you really want to get to know this group of fine Jewish artists, come to their exhibits. You'll be glad you did!
