This innovative public event is sponsored by the New Center for Arts and Culture (NCAC), in partnership with Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston (CJP), and in collaboration with the Boston Jewish Music Festival (BJMF) and the Boston Jewish Film Festival (BJFF).
The project is a preview of a new initiative, the Jewish Arts Collaborative, which will be announced in the near future.
The New Center put out a call to artists for works that tell a unique story of miracle, illumination, and innovation. The eight chosen pieces were selected by a jury of notable curators, arts leaders, and arts practitioners. In addition to the artwork, free public events will be hosted at several of the windows throughout the holiday.
The art will be on display for the duration of Hanukkah (December 6-14, 2015), in windows throughout the city of Boston:
• Downtown Crossing Roche Bros. (8 Summer St.)
• Pavement Coffee House (44 Gainsborough St.)
• United South End Settlements (566 Columbus Ave.)
• The West End Museum (150 Staniford St.)
• Boomerang’s Special Edition (1407 Washington St.)
• Milk Street Café (50 Milk St.)
• Boston Center for the Arts’ Artist Studio Building (539 Tremont St.)
• Cambridge Trust bank (565 Tremont St.)
A ninth window at Fire & Ice (205 Berkeley St.) will feature 8 Nights, 8 Windows Kids, a stained glass-like community installation created by children, with help from artist Tova Speter. This work is presented in partnership with Temple Israel of Boston and the Families With Young Children program.
