The Six Points Fellowship for Emerging Jewish Artists recently announced its 2010 New York City cohort. Nine artists were selected, all of whom are working on an original project that explores a thoughtful connection to Jewish ideas and Jewish cultural expression. Their projects range from a rock opera about Bernie Madoff, to a graphic novel exploring the classic advice column from the Yiddish Forward newspaper, to a theatrical thriller dealing with anti-Semitic medieval beliefs about Jewish male menstruation. Spanning the genres of visual art, performing art and music, the nine artists represent an exciting mix of flourishing Jewish culture in New York City.

Imagine that when participants leave this place, they take with them personally meaningful ideas about Jewish life and traditions to share with their friends, family and community.
