JFest: An Arts Festival for the JCC Movement

December 1, 2021

JCC Association of North America in partnership with Virtual J and Schwartz Reisman JCC | Prosserman JCC, Toronto, ON, presents “JFest: An Arts Festival for the JCC Movement,” which offers high quality, cultural and educational content for all ages throughout the year. In upcoming programs, artist-educators from around the world explore three core storytelling themes: how to tell your story, how others tell our story, and how history tells our story. Complimentary marketing materials and resources deepen connections and increase resilience in JCC communities. Join us for these events and find new and creative ways to tell your story.

JFest’s fall/winter season will include four events through JFest’s channel on Virtual J. All events are free to access after registering (on Virtual J) with an email address.

Coming up:
