Projects under the fiscal sponsorship of Jewish Creativity International

Over its 36-year history, JCI has provided fiscal sponsorship to more than 200 long-standing artistic and creative projects spanning virtually every form of Jewish artistic and cultural expression. JCI is a home for many types of creative outlets, and we strive to help each artist tell their story in their unique voice and medium. Current projects range from a group of artists in New York City using street art and sticker campaigns to combat antizionism to a Boston DJ creating experiences for young Jews to collectively revel in shared peoplehood. Our current filmmakers include one documenting the hostage poster war in New York City, and one of our theatrical artists is bringing a Holocaust-based production to perform at the Terezin concentration camp. 

JCI currently serves around 100 artists and creators. The following examples illustrate the breadth and visibility of JCI's current portfolio:

• Avner Moriah: Paintings, illuminated manuscripts, public artworks, and biblical interpretations in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Vatican Apostolic Library, the Library of Congress, Harvard  University, Yale University, University of California, Los Angeles, and the Jewish Theological Seminary Library.
