With the shul opening to many more activities and events now, the Art Show mounted by the Judaism and Art group is becoming a major attraction. Members and friends who attended the official opening on Sunday afternoon, April 23, have returned for close-up views that may have been obstructed by the crowd at their initial visit.

Now that activities surrounding Shavuot are inviting members and friends into the shul for events spanning three days — Thursday, May 25, through Saturday, May 27 — a perfect opportunity to visit and/or revisit the Art Show has emerged.

On display are about 30 pieces by a dozen shul members working in acrylic, oil stick, watercolor, photography, and fiber arts that focus on themes thoughtful to lighthearted. Some of the artists have offered their work for sale, available to buyers after takedown.

Pictured, a large storyboard by Leah Friedman, one of two of her large works in the show, never fails to capture the attention of viewers, who are drawn to her composition and draftsmanship, as illustrated here with the artist, center, looking on.

The show will be on view through the summer.
