The Jewish Street Art Festival returned to its original vision for 2025, with murals painted across Orange County, California. Presented by Weissman Arts, a project of the Jewish Community Foundation Orange County, and partnering with institutions around Orange County, the 2025 Festival brought together Jewish artists from around the US and Israel to paint. The first set of murals was painted in May, with another set in August, culminating at a full-day event on August 24. (Read about that event here.) The final mural will be painted in October, wrapping up a year of vibrant Jewish art.

The Jewish Community Foundation Orange County’s mission is to guarantee a Jewish tomorrow through the creation of a culture of legacy within the Orange County Jewish community and by empowering individuals to engage in effective, meaningful giving. By planning for the continuation of philanthropy into the future with permanent endowments combined with current giving, JCFOC seeks to ensure financial resources for the continued vitality of institutions that promote Jewish identity, support a high quality of Jewish life, and benefit the people of Orange County and Jewish communities around the world.

Weissman Arts, a project of the Jewish Community Foundation Orange County (JCFOC), is dedicated to enriching the OC Jewish community with high-quality Jewish arts and culture through well-curated, large-scale, multi-partner public events. Weissman Arts revolves around the belief that vibrant creative expression is crucial to strengthening Jewish communal life and contributing to a Jewish cultural renaissance. To achieve this, we invest in artistic projects and experiences that enrich the regional ecosystem and foster a deeper sense of personal identity. We recognize that art has the power to showcase resilience, challenge negative stereotypes, and promote inclusivity and allyship by sharing diverse narratives in our civic landscape.
