A Jewish Art Show

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

I recently watched a dating show where the hosts try to answer the main question of the night: "Where do you find the fine gentlemen/ ladies?". All of them have varied answers but one host who particularly came close to the poll's answers said: in Art Shows. Is it true indeed that gentlemen and ladies with breeding and fine manners can only be found in such areas? Well the dating show shows that majority of the population says 'yes'. What's in these art shows that make them so appealing to 'dateable' or 'marriage material' people? I presume that for those people who read this might start visiting art shows and galleries as a hobby. Talk about finding your soulmate and one true love there.

At Durham there is a Jewish Art Show which features fine contemporary Jewish artists. Think about finding artworks with a touch of Jewish culture and significance and you'll get a full front seat of what the Art Show has to offer. Jewish artists from their native country come all the way to visit Durham and share their talents to the spectators. People who appreciate cultural arts will certainly have fun and enjoy the arts of the Jewish people.

Students who take up world art history will also be present on the show to come face to face with their lessons. In here, they will be accompanied by their respective instructors on the history of Jewish art and the influences of contemporary Jewish Art.

At the Art Show paintings, photography and sculpture are some of the basic mediums that Jewish artists use to express their artistic capabilities. A person would never see a single piece of artwork out of focused as each pieces passed through the local art juries prior to display.

Come to the Juried Jewish Art Show and see a part of the world beyond your home's borders.
