Jewish Museum Tour: Ben Shahn Exhibit – “On Nonconformity”

Join us for a private and enlightening evening at the Jewish Museum, touring the new exhibit Ben Shahn, On Nonconformity, which features the work of American Jewish artist and activist Ben Shahn. The exhibit “examines the prolific and progressive artist’s commitment to chronicling and confronting crucial issues of his era, spanning from the Great Depression to the Vietnam War, as well as his exploration of spirituality and Jewish texts.” We will see decades of Shahn’s work, while focusing on how Hebrew and biblical narrative shaped his understanding of social inequality.

 

 

After an hour-long tour of the Ben Shahn exhibit, we will also have the opportunity to explore The Book of Esther in the Age of Rembrandt exhibit with AC past president and Jewish Museum docent Debbie Greenberg!

 

Additionally, the museum’s new Kosher restaurant Lox is open until 8PM for those interested in having dinner together after the tour.
