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.

Creating Commentary Curriculum

Creating CommentaryCreating Commentary offers participants an in-depth opportunity to study Jewish concepts and themes through the creative arts. An interdisciplinary approach focuses on the ways in which painting, sculpture, music, film, literature, and theatre explore aspects of Jewish faith, tradition, and history.

The concept of “covenant” provides the thematic focus for this program. Through text study, group discussion, art analysis, hands-on art making, and personal reflection, participants experience how different artistic modes inform their own ideas about Jewish life.
