CANADIAN JEWISH NEWS
By Michelle Bitran, Intern
CANADA - Hillel of Greater Toronto, in conjunction with the Julie M. Gallery, is offering an art fellowship this year for the first time. The Julie M. Gallery Emerging Jewish Artist Fellowship will support some five to eight students working in the arts, including photography, sculpture, creative writing and other fields. Applicants who are selected will receive a $400 stipend as well as funds toward their materials, and they will be paired with a mentor who will help them work on a project related to Israel or Judaism. In May, the visual artists will have the opportunity to display their work in an exhibition. The Julie M. Gallery was opened in 2009 as the Canadian branch of the originally Israeli gallery. The Tel Aviv branch was established in 1975. The gallery mostly shows the work of contemporary Israeli artists, both Jewish and Arab. Registration is open from Nov. 1 to 30. Contact Geysman at alona.geysman@hilleltoronto.org for more information and for application forms. [link]
