There are 1000+ artist colonies in the world, but none of them are Jewish. Art Kibbutz NY, International Jewish Artist Colony, will create a network, a community and a hub for outstanding international Jewish artists yearly. By providing a space and time for the artist to work, stay, network and learn together for an extended period of time we hope to give refreshing Jewish responses to important questions, create a community of like-minded artists, support residents’ creative process, connect them to their Jewish heritage, help them make it personal, and teach it to the world.

Art Kibbutz NY was founded by Patricia Eszter Margit in 2010. The organization is now in its pilot phase and supported by an outstanding Advisory Board that consists of leaders of the major Jewish art and communal organizations such as Foundation for Jewish Culture, Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, Jewish Art Salon, Association for Jewish Theatre, JCRC-NY, UJA.
