Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, The Contemporary Jewish Museum (The CJM) will produce The CJM Veteran Arts Initiative, a series of four free art workshops coupled with tours of relevant art in CJM exhibitions. Two Veterans will serve as consultants, three Veteran Artists as workshop leaders. Four Veteran agencies will partner with The CJM to support the project. CAC funds will be used to support artistic fees, program staff, and direct production expenses to implement the project.

Organization Summary

Since its founding in 1984, The CJM has established itself as one of the Bay Area’s most distinguished and innovative cultural institutions where visitors can connect through shared experiences with the arts. We present exhibitions and education programs that are timely, relevant, and representative of the highest levels of artistic achievement and scholarship. In 2018, The CJM celebrated ten years in its landmark Daniel Libeskind-designed building which amplifies the organization’s mission. Exhibitions offer multiple entry points, putting Jewish themes at the center of shared human experience by drawing on popular culture, folklore, and secular Jewish life as well as religious traditions. Engaging, hands-on programs encourage audiences to become culture creators themselves through interactions with artists, works of art, and other participants. The CJM’s K-12 School and Teacher Programs take a holistic approach to arts education in partnership with Bay Area schools and artists.
