Jewish Artists Collective Chicago

JACC in the communityJewish Artists Collective of Chicago (JACC) is a community of artists connected through common heritage and committed to sharing ideas, enriching practices, and creating dialogue with community. We are passionate about the importance of contemporary Jewish art and its role in deepening community. It is integral to our core mission to reach out and share the rich culture and meaning derived from our work with others. We do this through exhibitions, studio tours, artist talks, hands-on workshops, artist-in-residence programs, art consulting, commissioned work, and immersive experiences. Through these exchanges, we strive to create community dialogue, share the meaning and emotional impact of viewing and making art, enrichment programs and shared cultural experiences.HistoryJewish Artists Collective Chicago began in 2016 as an outgrowth of the inaugural Spertus Institute Midwest Artists Lab. We work in a range of media and styles, but are joined by a common mission of creating contemporary, engaging, and thoughtful work that reflects Jewish themes and values.
