The Arts Through Jewish Eyes- Wonderful!!!!

Sara Harwin, artist and David Fuks , m.c.

SIMPLY wonderful! Last night's program was at times hilarious and other times serious and enlightening. We were treated to insights into the lives of talented souls who call themselves artists, musicians, writers, and propagandists!

Go to our Photos page to see snapshots of last night's panel.

And go to our calendar link above to see what's coming next!

Hint: MJCC Lobby......an art show goes up Sunday morning, March 6th  and remains on display through Friday. Repeat again for the next several weeks...new artists and new displays each week!

JAM: FEBRUARY

Jewish Arts Month should only be a month right?
WRONG!!!!
it should be as long as it takes to cover all the amazing opportunities a little shtetl like Portland can offer.
Okay...so we didn't plan to include February....but give a look at this wonderful set of events. How could we not adopt them?!    CHECK OUT THE EVENTS LISTED BELOW! We will soon post a link to a graphics calendar for those of you who want to check out the events in a more visual format.
