Events
For Jewish Creatives
Toronto is at the heart of a global cultural movement.
We are building a more resilient Jewish arts community by bringing together artists, cultural workers, and patrons of the arts to support one another through networking, connecting, and learning events.
We are grateful to CANVAS and the Azrieli Foundation for the support of this work.

Who We Are
The Jewish Diaspora has influenced the development of the cultural heritage of the Jewish people. This has helped to create a rich and diverse cultural mosaic, drawing inspiration from all corners of the world including Europe, North Africa, the Americas and Israel.
Driven by this understanding, a network of modern Jewish Arts, Culture and Heritage organizations, have coalesced to create the Kultura Collective, to provide experiential and participatory opportunities for cultural enrichment, intellectual growth, exploration, and spiritual fulfillment to all, across Toronto and beyond.
