Where is Jewish Art Now? Rising, Declining, or Neither?
ALGEMEINER
By Elke Reva Sudin
With a rapidly declining economy, a second wave emerged in the last few years of content creators and appreciators such as the Jewish Art Salon, Art Kibbutz, or Jewish Eyes on the Arts, who have pushed ahead with their own independent programming despite a lack of community infrastructure or financial support. Some more religious groups which were actually started during the boom of the first wave and lacked institutional support also thrived in this environment, such as Shemspeed and ATARA. I believe we are at the crest of the second wave, where more and more interest in Jewish art has developed through increasing grassroots initiatives, and it is ready to crash, in a good way, to further hydrate the land.
