Jewish Music Week in Toronto (May 22 – 29, 2022) is a week of concerts, lectures, recitals and musical events throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Here’s your opportunity to get involved by drawing or painting. 2022 Theme: Jewish Music and the Holidays!
What Should My Artwork Be About?
Draw or paint a picture of “Jewish Music and the Holidays”. Do you sing songs around your Shabbat table? Do you celebrate Purim with a swing band? Or enjoy a guitar and campfire on Lag Ba’Omer? What about the choir in the synagogue on Rosh Hashana? Your drawing should include a representation of the music you hear as well as how you might feel when you hear it.
What Are The Rules and How Big Should I Make My Artwork?
All pictures should be clearly labeled with your name and email address on the back.
All artwork should be 8-1/2” X 11” and suitable for framing (please keep this in mind if you are thinking of creating a 3-dimensional piece of art). If you would like to create a larger piece, please email Zoe, our contest chair (zhaberkucharsky@gmail.com) first to discuss
