Mission Statement
The Jewish Art Salon was established in 2008 to create a collaborative Jewish art community built on open discussion of work and ideas and sharing of information and resources. JAS embraces diversity in the Jewish community and encourages the expansion of Jewish Art.
JAS aims to build bridges within and reaching out to the Jewish and non-Jewish community on the local and international level. Through organized exhibitions and programs, it fosters Jewish culture and creativity, promotes cohesion, understanding and identity and supports the variety and energy of Jewish artistic expression.
By working both independently and in partnership with museums and art institutions, JAS encourages collaborations among its members to:
- Promote opportunities for Jewish artists and art professionals
- Encourage mutual understanding among its members and with art groups worldwide
- Aid in the creation of conditions that encourage the continuity and vitality of Jewish art in a pluralistic society
- Protect and strengthen interests of the Jewish arts community in the U.S. and abroad
- Provide a Jewish arts leadership to exchange views with key local, national and global museums, galleries, art historians and media
