How Has Jewish Art Changed Since October 7th?

CANVAS Jewish Arts & Culture Funding Collaborative is gathering insights on how recent events have impacted Jewish artists and cultural workers across North America. Their Making Jewish Art in 2025survey aims to measure these changes—and they need your help spreading the word. If you support, fund, or know Jewish artists, please share this survey with them so their experiences can be heard. The survey can be found here.

With just over six weeks to go, we want to encourage JFN International Conference attendees to explore the Attendee Hub. There you'll be able to preview the dynamic and thought-provoking sessions, learn more about the Shabbaton, read about the speakers joining us at conference and discover additional programming.

Be sure to explore the full lineup and click "Add Session" to customize your conference schedule. And take advantage of a complimentary JFN Consulting session with Yossi Prager, Senior Managing Director, JFN Consulting, pre- and post-conference. Consulting services are comprehensive, diverse, and appropriate for all stages of a funder, family, or foundation’s lifespan.
