The Jewish Festival is designed to showcase artists specializing
in graphics, sculpture, painting, photography, jewelry, ceramics,
and other media and Judaica, and celebrate our Jewish heritage through
music, dance, food, and community connections.
It was launched 14 years ago as an opportunity for the entire Atlanta
Jewish community to come together for a very special celebration of
the arts and Jewish culture. It has become the largest gathering of
the Jewish community throughout the year in a single day!
