Call for Entries: Art Kibbutz Spring Residency
12 Feb2013
Art Kibbutz is delighted to announce the launch of its first-ever spring residency program at Camp Eden Village – a spectacular 248-acre venue bordered on three sides by the wooded hills of Clarence Fahnestock State Park in the Hudson Valley, 50 miles north of New York City. The pilot residency provides participants with the power to shape an innovative new program, the only one of its kind to explore creative art, Jewish teachings and tradition and environmental awareness. This project marks a significant step that Art Kibbutz is taking towards the creation of an international Jewish artist colony at a permanent location.
As host, Art Kibbutz will provide artists with a peaceful, supportive, Jewish environment — including living and studio space — in a magnificent natural setting only 45 minutes from New York City in Putnam Valley.
The residency – scheduled to take place from May 1-22 2013 — will be specifically dedicated towards nurturing an artistic response to current issues pertaining to the natural environment, farming and sustainability through a Jewish lens. In addition to a bedroom and gourmet kosher vegan meals, each artist will be provided with studio or work space. A central focus of the residency will be to encourage the artists to work outdoors, creating land art.

Why Baal Teshuvas Need To Make Art
11 Feb2013
From Pop Chassid
Baal teshuvas think that because they’re new to the world of yiddishkeit that their words dont’ matter. Or they’re afraid that they’ll say something wrong, something that will turn people away from Judaism or condemn their family so their kids will get a horrible education.
Baal teshuvas are so afraid, so afraid to mess up because they are aware of how fallible they are. They’re aware of how imperfect they are.

Hanukkah Electronica
28 Nov2012
Hanukkah Electronica is an elegant designer-made Menorah for the Festival of Lights. It’s miniaturized modern styling makes it looks like a pocket-sized work of art. It not only travels easily to dorms, offices, and around the house, but its LED candellight is designed to mesmerize.
Pick the number of “candles†you want to burn each night and it illuminates for 45 minutes before gracefully fading-out as if the flames have run out of wax.
Brought to you by Yury Gitman of Banana Design Lab, Brooklyn, NY.
