California Jewish Open Call

Tuesday, November 21st, 2023

We are excited to announce the launch of the California Jewish Open – an open call for artworks by Jewish-identifying artists based in California that engage the theme of Connection. Seeking connection is one of the most distinctive qualities of being human. In a moment where some of our most natural responses—such as grief, hope, fear, and resilience—are being politicized to isolate and divide us, connection is essential to upholding our shared humanity. Selected artworks will be exhibited at The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco in the summer/fall of 2024.  

The link below outlines the specifics of the open call, including eligibility criteria, submission guidelines, and key dates.
