Jewish Futures 2024: Arts and Culture Salon

A conference for Toronto’s Jewish artists and cultural workers exploring the future of Jewish cultural and artistic life.

What future do we want to create together? How can the past and presentation of memory help to inform our present? How do we share our stories to guide our futures?

Considering the current moment, this event will give Jewish artists and cultural professionals a way to come together to learn, share and connect.

The program will emphasize networking, communal learning, and the exploration of Jewish and artistic identity and practices, providing the foundation for building resilience and leadership for Toronto’s Jewish cultural community. The day will include conversations with specialists and local artists, community-building workshops and activities, a showcase of Toronto’s Jewish arts organizations, and facilitated conversations about artistic and Jewish identity.

Who is this event for?

Participants will represent the spectrum of Toronto’s cultural scene, including visual arts, theatre, film, music, dance, writing, curatorial, arts administration, museums, and heritage.

Please note: This event is for Jewish artists, creatives, and cultural workers, or those who produce cultural content with Jewish spaces. Not sure if this event is for you? Please get in touch with us at
