Global Day of Jewish Learning

About Shema!

Shema! features the winning artwork of high school students in the US and Israel.  Inspired by the Shema theme of Global Day 2011, the art reflects the intense emotional lives of these talented young adults and includes a broad range of approaches, from quietly contemplative photography to exuberant paintings. Media includes photography, digital media, painting and drawing.  The gallery was created in partnership between RAVSAK, Jewish Art Salon, Jewish Art Now, and the Global Day of Jewish Learning.

About  Global/Local

Global/Local, open to all Jewish artists, invited submissions that explored the visual texture and vocabulary of the artists’ particular Jewish communities. The work deals with themes of isolation, integration, social and ethnic exchange and modification within communities. The gallery was created in partnership between the Jewish Art Salon and Jewish Art Now, in honor of the Global Day of Jewish Learning.
