Judy Kopelman adds her text to the collaborative mural at the Schechter Institutes. Her giant stenciled letters read “מן המקום שבו לא היינו אל המקום שבו לא נהיה” — From the place we were not to the place we won’t be, from a poem by Nathan Zach that speaks about eternity.

We started painting today at The Schechter Institutes! It’s the beginning stages of a collaborative typographic mural that so far has lettering by Hillel Smith over an awesome texture by Shlome J Hayun.
The 2019 Jewish Street Art Festival is taking place as part of the 2019 Jerusalem Biennale in October and November. We are partnering with First Station (Tachana Rishona), the Artists’ Colony (Hutzot Hayotzer), and the Schechter Institute in the heart of Jerusalem to create site-specific pieces at all three locations!
We reimagined the 2020 Festival as a way to bring art to our local communities. Our artists will each be painting related murals in their own cities this Chanukah. Click here for the full schedule of events.
The Jewish Street Art Festival is thrilled to present a series of murals as a part of Dwelling in a Time of Plagues, a coast-to-coast Jewish artistic response to contemporary plagues.

Dan Groover’s quest has always been to deliver soulful messages through his art as it adapts universal dimensions to contemporary techniques and themes which are accessible to all.
