The Arizona Jewish Historical Society Presents New Exhibit

The Arizona Jewish Historical Society presents “Tikkun Olam 3: Repairing the World,” a significant and timely mixed media art exhibition curated by Joan Baron. It showcases contemporary art by exceptional Arizona artists that raise awareness and addresses the themes of the exhibit.
Susan Beiner, Liz Cohen, Fatimah Halim, Marie Jones, Janelle L. Stanley, Christine Lee and Deborah H. Sussman are the featured artists who created new works for the exhibit that explore climate change, environmental justice and sustainability through ceramics, wood, fiber, drawings, printmaking, textiles, graphic design, text pieces and spoken word performances.
The exhibits consist of three components The Power of Art, The Power of Food, and The Power of Words — which showcase how art and artists can help heal the world. Through the exhibit, the artists use materials in unexpected ways to tackle social and political issues without focusing on the political.
This exhibition will be installed in the newly renovated Cutler-Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center, a historic former synagogue and church that now serves the community as a museum, cultural center, and event venue.
The opening reception for “Tikkun Olam 3: Repairing the World” will take place on Sunday, October 7.
