\n

Building connections across Montreal\u2019s Jewish arts community<\/h2><\/div>\n

The Montreal Jewish Arts Collaborative (MJAC) is a group of artists, creators, cultural conveners, and industry professionals coming together over a shared interest and excitement for where and how contemporary arts meet Jewish culture! Membership is simple: either come to an MJAC event, sign up for the\u00a0newsletter<\/a>, or be a MJAC partner org. alum (more on that below<\/a>). That\u2019s it!<\/p>

Our community welcomes those of all backgrounds and at all levels in their practice, with a focus on emerging and new practitioners whose work touches on Jewish themes. Above all, MJAC is a way to put curious minds in touch, foster new collaborations, and bring Montreal\u2019s creative minds the resources, events, and opportunities they need to explore and grow creatively!<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n

Partner Programs<\/h2>

The Montreal Jewish Arts Collaborative is a collaboration between three of Canada\u2019s leading Jewish arts organizations: the Museum of Jewish Montreal, KlezKanada, and the Segal Centre for Performing Arts. Each organization brings a wealth of expertise in a diverse set of arts practices, meaning we can offer mentorship, funding, skill-building, and networking across disciplines.
