Announcing the Jewish Music Week in Toronto

2022 Student Art Contest!

​

Jewish Music Week in Toronto (May 22 – 29, 2022) is a week of concerts, lectures, recitals and musical events throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Here’s your opportunity to get involved by drawing or painting.

 

2022 Theme: Jewish Music and the Holidays

​

​

 

 

What Should My Artwork Be About?​

Draw or paint a picture of "Jewish Music and the Holidays". Do you sing songs around your Shabbat table? Do you celebrate Purim with a swing band? Or enjoy a guitar and campfire on Lag Ba'Omer? What about the choir in the synagogue on Rosh Hashana? Your drawing should include a representation of the music you hear as well as how you might feel when you hear it.

​
What Are The Rules and How Big Should I Make My Artwork? ​

All pictures should be clearly labeled with your name and email address on the back.

All artwork should be 8-1/2” X 11” and suitable for framing (please keep this in mind if you are thinking of creating a 3-dimensional piece of art). If you would like to create a larger piece, please email Zoe, our contest chair (zhaberkucharsky@gmail.com) first to discuss

.

​How Do I Submit My Piece?

All artwork must be accompanied by a completed Registration Form. You may mail or deliver artwork with the accompanied Registration Form to Jewish Music Week in Toronto Student Art Contest, 105 Ava Road, Toronto M6C 1V9. (Bathurst & Eglinton area).

No artwork will be considered if not accompanied by completed Registration Form.

​
What’s The Deadline? ​
