Upcoming Event
Artists’ Table
4th Wednesday of Every Month, 7pm
Upstairs on the roof at Next@19th
The Artists' Table welcomes writers and artists in all disciplines to respond to Jewish text through discussion and sharing work in a monthly gathering. During the gatherings, the group interprets a Biblical text together and manifests their responses in the creation of their own new work (in collaboration or solo). Work is developed and shared through an artist-centered peer-response process and occasionally showcased to the greater community.
