Fine art is always on display at the JCC.
The JCC Taube Center for Jewish Peoplehood mounts multi-media art shows four times a year, presenting both local and international Jewish artists. These seasonal exhibitions highlight a variety of themes pertinent to the Jewish calendar, holidays, values, text, and traditions.
The exhibitions have featured work from prominent artists including Lawrence Kushner, Siona Benjamin, Laurie Wohl, Lauren Bartone, MIND the HEART!, Hillel Smith, and many others.
Exhibitions are well publicized and are enjoyed by all who visit the JCC.

She’erit: What Remains Shall Speak the Truth
She’erit, שְׁאֵרִית, is the Hebrew word for “remnant.” It evokes what survives erasure, what endures exile, what persists across generations despite the forces of assimilation and antisemitism. This exhibition travels through Morocco, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates to gather pieces of memory, identity, and culture, sewing them together to tell a story of Jewish persistence.
Each work, whether painted, carved, or filmed, is both a testament and a tool for survival and continuity. They are not passive reflections of loss, but active protests: refusals to disappear, to be flattened, to be silenced. They speak from and through the feminine, the hands and faces of women who preserve history through thread and bread, rosewater and Moorish tiles.
Rooted in the intersecting spiritual and cultural lineages of Amazigh and Sephardi heritage, the exhibition transforms devastation into art, not to beautify pain, but to dignify indigenous inheritance against the erasures of colonial Islamist ideology. This is a reclamation of narrative, of space, of voice, and breath.
In a time obsessed with binaries and performative activism, She’erit invites you to pause, to dwell in complexity, and to piece together a story that resists flattening. This is not just an exhibition. It is the phenomenological testimony of a woman—diasporic yet Indigenous, transnational yet deeply rooted—and through her, it becomes the story of a people who refuse to be silenced.

With apologies, we do not accept unsolicited works.
Exhibits at the Osher Marin JCC are curated roughly a year or more in advance by JCC staff and in partnership with Bay Area colleagues—with whom we often share materials and costs.
We strive to bring Jewish art that is high in quality, spiritually stirring, and environmentally awakening. We hope these works of art elevate your experience at our JCC.
