Jewish Art Salon in New York
The Jewish Art Salon is unique. It provides exhibitions, education and networking opportunities for Jewish Artists. It is also a warm and friendly atmosphere for people of like interests. There are only a few groups like this in the whole country and this is the largest and the best.
The Jewish Art Salon is a great organization. It provides artists with opportunities to show. It’s been a lifeline during the pandemic by offering zoom based studio visits and discussions. I’m very grateful to be a member. Thank you to all of the people who work so hard to make all of this happen.
Exhibitions by the Jewish Art Salon show excellent examples of contemporary Jewish Art by artists spanning the globe. Representing all media from traditional painting to new media and covering relevant topics and themes for today, Jewish Art Salon is a unique group.
I was an artist presenter to the many attendees and truly appreciate the incredible opportunity from such a prestigious organization. Thanks so much to The Jewish Art Salon and to the other artists who presented with me whose work was wonderful. I have received much positive feedback.
Jewish Art Salon provides multiple and varied opportunities for Jewish artists, whose art may or may not be exclusively focused on Jewish subjects, to share work, learn more, and gather as community online and in person. I especially appreciate online opportunities during this pandemic.
As both a presenting artist, and as a viewer, I can affirm that JAS has created an excellent program. It is lively, organized, well paced and throughly engaging. I give it the highest recommendation for artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts.
Jewish Art Salon, an unique breeding place for Jewish art, where they all cook a lot of new ideas.Just followed a serie of on-line sessions, an open stage for great artworks and discussions. Chapeau to all the staff members and to Yona Verwer, the engine behind this great organisation!
The Jewish Art Salon is a wonderful organization with high-quality programming and stellar members. Would highly recommend to anyone with even the slightest interest in contemporary Jewish art.
The Jewish Art Salon(JAS) is comprised of artists who identify Judaism, being Jewish, and/or Jewishness as a significant factor that contributes to each artist’s experience in the world as an individual as well as local to global member-citizen in any range of inherited and/or selected communities and contexts. JAS members’ visual practices and production straddle multiple identities within multiple frames of reference in which individual identifiers/signifiers and shared, collective and universal human experiences and conditions are interwoven. JAS is a forum that is empowering a contemporary, cutting-edge, international, deeply socially-conscious conversation – of heart, mind, body and soul – in which identity; personal to global conditions; and the power of art and vision invite critical thinking, deep feeling and transformative action. The JAS conversation continues to grow exponentially in depth, scope, span, breadth, reach, impact. Take a look at the JAS website and follow JAS exhibitions and activities, and become part of a fabulously rich, unprecedented, highly dynamic, and evolving visual discourse and dialogue!
Thank you JAS and dear Yona the founder for curating such brilliant important exhibitions with fantastic eclectic international artists! Great supportive network and fun interesting Sundays zoom studio visits. ישר כוח!
The Jewish Art Salon is a strong global community of artists who are navigating the challenges of our own relationship to Jewish culture and tradition in creating contemporary art in an increasingly international and multi-cultural world. So happy to be part of it; especially in these strange times when being part of this group has inspired me to reach deeper into my thoughts.
Ive connected with many wonderful Jewish artists through my participation in JAS programs. Also its an excellent support system for my as a Jewish Artist.
Your programs are excellent...a wonderful platform for so many artists to present their work and as a collage artist myself, I am greatly inspired! I especially enjoyed the program on Tuesday, Dec 22. 👏👏👏

2021-03-16The Jewish Art Salon is the most amazing place to view art with intellect, meaning, spirit and artistic exploration. I have been so impressed with the Open Studio discussions where art and art related Jewish topics are explored in depth with clarity, vision and offer both the artist and art lover an in-depth understanding of the art process and the meaning behind the work. The artists members of the JAS are diverse and the range of media and technique is worth the clicking journey to view individuals and examples of their work. I am uplifted from every JAS experience, and I am invigorated by what is presented each time. This site, and organization is creative and exciting!

2021-08-09As a member of the Jewish Art Salon for several years, I am so impressed with everything this organization does. They organize beautiful and diverse exhibitions and provide a forum to member artists for resources and networking. Particularly during the challenging times of the pandemic, JAS has provided innovative opportunities for artists to share their work and ideas and stay connected through zoom open studios. I feel particularly fortunate to have recently participated in an open studio with painter Leah Raab and her intimate and expressive paintings. I am grateful to Yona Verwer, Dorit Jordan Dotan, and Judith Joseph for creating this programming.

2020-07-03The Jewish Art Salon is an invaluable resource to see work outside the mainstream, and hear directly from the artists. I feel a sense of community with both the presenters and other attendees. It was great to get the curators tour of the Jerusalem Biennale, with their enlightening commentary. It is always surprising and intriguing.

2020-07-05Many thanks to Yona and the Jewish Art Salon for bringing together this community. I joined in early 2020, seeing it as potentially a good thing that could come out of the pandemic: an opportunity to discover work I could never access otherwise, and to meet other artists from around the world who engage with the varieties Jewish experience. But what I discovered was on a much higher level. Extraordinary artists shared their work and the discussions they generated were enlightening, expansive, deeply affecting and delightful all at the same time. And I came away from every session feeling awe and joy and recommitted to my own practice.

2021-02-03The Jewish Art Salon is the most important group of Jewish artists. It is the greatest organization of its kind to promote Jewish Art. It has curated exhibitions in the US and abroad. It presents intellectual opportunities to develop artistic ideas and connect artists and art professionals from all over the world.When Covid19 struck, the JAS initiated the Virtual Art Visit Program on Sundays, co-sponsored by Jada. I was lucky and honored to present a visual tour to the exhibition I curated in Berlin, highligting 10 JAS’s members (of 20 artist) in the show.Thank you Yona Verwer and the Jewish Art Salon for creating this amazing organization!

2020-10-13So happy to have another great series of JAS artist interviews online! It started Oct 13th, and I definitely recommend signing up with JAS so you can be inspired by the work and thoughts of a variety of very interesting Jewish artists from various parts of the world. The slide shows and talks presented are the only way many of us (I live in Seattle) are going to meet these artists and experience their work. Thank you JAS and artists, and I hope this becomes a permanent feature.

2020-07-08I am delighted to be a member of the Jewish Art Salon. I joined right at the beginning and although I live in Jerusalem, and not in NYC where most of the actual events take place, I nevertheless gain many benefits from my membership: predominantly Calls for Art, Group Exhibitions and a sense of art community. I so admire what Yona Verwer and her devoted colleagues have built up!
