Calling Jewish Artists!

Applications are now open for the B’Kef Collective Outdoor Gallery, presented in partnership with Koffler Arts at the Prosserman JCC Summer Shuks on July 5 and August 23. Learn more.

This curated outdoor exhibition celebrates Jewish artists, creativity, culture, and community in a vibrant public setting. Selected artists will receive dedicated exhibition space, promotional support, and the opportunity to connect with thousands of visitors throughout the day.

Rather than functioning solely as a vendor market, the space is envisioned as a temporary cultural gathering place — part exhibition, part community hub, and part artist market.

Our Goals

• Highlight Jewish artists in an accessible public setting
• Create opportunities for meaningful conversation and connection
• Showcase a wide range of artistic voices and practices
• Build visibility for emerging and established B’Kef artists
• Create a welcoming environment centred around joy, creativity, and community

Selected artists will receive a dedicated gallery display space, a printed artist profile, promotional support, and the opportunity to participate in event programming.

Participation is free. The only fee collected is an 18% commission on any artwork sold through the exhibition.

Submission Deadline: June 15
