Opportunities

The Palm Beach Center for Jewish Art invites artists to submit entries to their exhibition “Hebrew Zodiac: 12 Tribes, 12 Months, 12 Astrological Signs.”

From the floor of the Bet Alpha Synagogue in Beit She’an to the Chagall Stained Glass Windows at Hadassah Hospital, Jewish Artists have interpreted the Hebrew Calendar in relation to the Twelve Tribes. They have sought relationships between the Biblical Text and the wonders of Astronomy, as well as why a particular tribe is associated with a particular Hebrew month. In recent years, women of the Bible have also been identified with particular months.

This exhibition offers an opportunity to explore this theme in new and unique ways. One could choose a particular Biblical Narrative to illustrate about one tribe or one could choose a representation of all of the tribes together.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ENTRY FORM, AUGUST 13, 2010

SHOW OPENS OCTOBER 12, 2010

The Pauline and Zena Gatov Gallery at the Alpert Jewish Community Center in Long Beach is actively searching for Jewish artists to exhibit here. The gallery is located in the central promenade of the Center and is the focal point for all who enter.

One of the mandates of our gallery is to provide a showcase for local Jewish artists, whether or not their work is Judaic in nature. However, we are currently searching for Judaic art by a Jewish artist for our September/October exhibit, to coincide with the High Holy Days. And going forward for them, we have several openings for the 2010 calendar.

We offer a generous 70/30% commission split and an active Gallery Committee and staff to assist with installations using the Walker system. Please contact Eve Lunt, Gallery Director, at 562-426-7601, x1067 or at elunt@alpertjcc.org
