ArtBash Your Way: Hanukkah

ArtKit Pickup: Dec 1–14; Video content live: Tuesday, December 5, 2023

ADMISSION: This is a free at-home project. ArtKits containing project supplies are free; one ArtKit recommended per participant

The CJM proudly presents this year’s annual Hannukah ArtBash, featuring a guided art project designed to illuminate and share each of our inner light for Hanukkah. Pick up an ArtKit filled with all the supplies you’ll need at community Hanukkah events located throughout the Bay Area. Then, gather with friends and family on any night of Hanukkah you choose and follow along with our instructional video to create a fun and playful ritual box for sharing goodness and light. Get ready to break open your ArtKit for a unique art experience with your loved ones. This project is geared for ages 4–12, but is open to all.  

Hanukkah begins on the evening of Thursday December 7 and lasts eight nights and days.
