Artist Details:
There will be a special table for artists where they can sketch and create in reaction to the texts discussed during the evening.
The artworks made from the event will then be posted on the LABA Journal website and in their upcoming journal newsletter which goes out to a list of nearly 15,000.

A review of 8th Day Art House and a guide of how to do this in your house.
by Morris Levin
On a cold Saturday night while ice formed on the sidewalks I opened my home to 30 strangers in an evening of art and inspiration hosted by Jewish Art Now. The event was called “8th Day Art House” and the house happened to be my house–a standard-issue South Philadelphia rowhouse transformed into a haven of Jews and creativity.

Exhibition Excitement
12 Feb2013
There is such a diverse array of approaches to Jewish content contemporary artwork, but each artist is bringing the approach that comes from the world they are in.
The most fun part of planning an exhibition is when you get to the works coming together for the first time.
There is a magic that happens when you see art that touched the hands from so many different people, coming from minds from different worlds apart, unite in the same place.
This is especially exciting when you are a curating a show of international artists. Our upcoming exhibition Breath/Breadth features works by local artists in New York as well as several artworks coming from Europe and South America.
Today we received a package of tefillin hair ties designed for women by ook-fashion, a collaboration between the German artist Hannes Hein, seamstress Selina-Lou and models Babsi and Angela. Though we have never met in person, Hannes has sent his hand crafted women’s hats made out of recycled kippot to us so we could include ook-fashion in our online store and pop-up shop.
