The inaugural presentation of the Tidewater Jewish Visual Arts Advisory Board, a creation of the Jewish Museum and Cultural Center’s visual arts committee, will feature a nationally known professor, lecturer, and art expert, Dr. Ori Soltes. The event will take place in December.
Dr. Soltes, a professor in the Jewish Civilization department at Georgetown University, will present
a lecture titled “Exploring and Understanding the Meaning of Modern Jewish Art.” This stimulating look
at Jewish art of the 20th and 21st centuries will investigate connections to the ancient roots of Jewish identity and explore its meaning amidst the Jewish experience in modern times. For more information about the speaker, visit orisoltes.com.
Tickets are $18 and can be purchased from Hunter Thomas at UJFT at www. JewishVA.org/JewishArt. Tickets will also be available at the door and are half price for students with ID. The lecture will be followed by a reception. All are welcome.
