ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION

Founded in 1951, Silverlake Independent Jewish Community Center is a home for culture, ideas, and belonging on the Eastside of Los Angeles. It provides a family education center and community gathering space based in Jewish values and tradition.

GRANT PURPOSE

Culture Lab engages groups of Jewish artists from disciplines that include writing, visual arts, media arts, dance, and theater who collaborate on the creation and presentation of new work inspired by a Jewish theme.

Funding from The Foundation is instrumental in launching SIJCC’s Culture Lab. Thanks to The Foundation's generous support, we are taking a significant step toward becoming the premiere Jewish arts and culture center on LA’s east side.
