Six Points Fellowship Announces New Artist Cohort in New York City

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.

"With Avoda Arts, we have developed film and media programs that seamlessly integrate the arts with Jewish learning. The best part is dealing with people that care about their Judaism as much as they do about the arts. They realize that art serves as another avenue for young people to learn about their Jewishness; it is a creative vehicle missing in our schools."
