Art in the Moment: Jewish Artists

Art in the Moment is a unique program designed specifically for older adults and their caregivers and friends to spark creative dialogue and nurture positive interactions. Together with a trained CJE SeniorLife Art Therapist, participants view and discuss renowned works of art and then engage in related art-making projects.


In addition to programs at the Art Institute, the community program will now be presented by CJE SeniorLife and the Art Institute of Chicago at Weinberg Community for Senior Living in Deerfield.


This session focuses on art that is inspired by the artists’ connection to Jewish spirituality and religion. The Art Institute of Chicago hosts a large collection of art by Jewish artists, including pieces by Marc Chagall, Man Ray, Jacques Lipchitz and Philip Guston.
