SUBJECT: LaG Art Studio PA - CORRECTION - MEETING is JAN 19!!!!!!

Happy New Year Art Families!

As we enter another year of an evolving "new normal" we'd like to acknowledge our creative, talented and all-around-awesome art studio students. In the face of rapidly changing circumstances they persevered, remained true to their craft and delivered two fabulous shows.

As in previous years, the Art Studio PA will continue to do everything in our power to enhance our student's LaG experience. This includes purchasing art supplies for in-school special projects and clubs, advertising opportunities outside of LaG and more.

We look forward to working with parents to continue delivering programming for parents and students in 2022 and beyond.

The Jewish Museum Photography Contest

Objects tell stories. Museums, like the Jewish Museum, are full of objects and works of art that reflect and explore history, culture, and ideas. Our lives, too, are full of objects that are meaningful to us in myriad ways

What story can an object tell about you, your community, or your family? How might we connect to parts of our own culture and identity through objects? How can these ideas be represented in photographs?

Please use this form to submit your photograph by February 18, 2022.

For more information, please email teenprograms@thejm.org.
