Let culture connect us

Why is this site different from all other sites?

We believe in the power of arts and culture to connect people.

Through art, food, literature, and music, we celebrate the richness and diversity of Jewish experiences. Our JArts programs help build a more vibrant and tolerant future for Jewish communities and beyond.

JArts’ mission is to  curate, celebrate, and build community around
the diverse world of Jewish arts, culture, and creative expression.


Our vision is of a more connected, engaged, and tolerant
world inspired by Jewish arts and culture.

Let culture connect us.

Meet the team

A history of passion and partnership.

In 2014, Boston-based Jewish cultural leaders came together to explore new ways to elevate Jewish culture. The Jewish Arts Collaborative formed as the result of a merger, combining the staff and leadership of the Boston Jewish Music Festival and the New Center for Arts and Culture, with the support of Combined Jewish Philanthropies, TDC Consultants, and funding from the Boston Foundation Catalyst Fund.

JArts launched publicly in December 2015 with Boston’s first-ever, Jewish public art project: “8 Nights, 8 Windows.” Since then, through a wide range of artistic events and programs, we’ve become a valued member of the Greater Boston cultural landscape, garnering national attention and distinguished awards, while reaching thousands of audience members each year.
