About this event

The Jewish Art Salon in partnership with Caravan presents a radical cultural conversation, positively unique during the anxiety and dissonance of our current era.

This exhibition of 125 artworks is a forceful aesthetic statement about unity, positivity, and hope, by creating a decisive new interfaith/intercultural/ visual art exhibition based on the Creation Narratives.

An innovative course of meaningful communication has emerged between Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and secular artists as they created works of art reflecting these seminal stories of religious world literature.
