California Jewish Open Call
Tuesday, November 21st, 2023We 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.

Friday, August 11th, 2023Jumpstart is a national early education program working toward the day that every child in America enters Kindergarten prepared to succeed. To achieve this vision, we partner teams of caring college students like yourself with local preschool classrooms located in underserved communities to promote language, literacy, and social-emotional skills. Did you know that children from low-income neighborhoods often start kindergarten 60%, or roughly 18 months, behind their more affluent peers? This is what we refer to as the “kindergarten achievement gap” and it only grows wider with each grade level if not addressed early. Jumpstart members play a vital role in our movement to close this gap and give our next generation the jumpstart needed to succeed both academically and socially.

Selected artwork and collections representing the theme will be displayed throughout the airport for up to one year beginning in January 2024. Up to twenty participating artists and/or organizations will be chosen for the exhibition, each will receive a stipend of $1,000. Submissions of existing, in-process and/or new work are welcome.

Geffen Playhouse seeks four artists to create an original artwork to be displayed in our lobby welcoming back audiences this fall to celebrate our 2023/24 Season.

It is our mission to create, foster and nourish an environment that is open and welcoming for all.
We’re inviting local artists to create works that bring our community together, inspired by theater experiences and reflective of our shared values. We call it “Art Lives Here.” As with our plays, we seek works of art that speak boldly, have meaningful purpose and feed the soul. A total of four artists will be chosen by a selection committee from all submissions received. Each art piece will be displayed for approximately two months in our theater lobby and featured in Playbill programs during the course of the 2023/2024 season. Join us in this endeavor.
