California Jewish Open

Available by reservation June 13, 2024–April 20, 2025

Join us on a tour of the California Jewish Open at The CJM. Together, we will explore contemporary artworks by Jewish-identifying artists from throughout California. This exhibition aims to present a wide range of perspectives from artists of diverse identities and generations, uniting them around a central question: How are artists looking to the many aspects of Jewish culture, identity, and community to foster, reimagine, hold, or discover connection?
