Maya Zack: A Series of Conversations and Interactions
November 7-14, 2010
We are excited to share that the Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity (CJCC) will be co-sponsoring this exchange. Capitalizing on Zack's emerging artist status, together with the CJCC we applied for a young adult micro-grant from the Federation's NextGen Engagement Initiative. We received the requested funds. JAI and the CJCC are thankful for the support of the Jewish Federation's NextGen Engagement Initiative.
