Tapestry
Arts & Ideas
More than a fun night out, a beautiful painting on the wall, or a good read on the bedside table, arts and ideas is a connection – through generations, across geography, and beyond our differences. Through performance, conversation, and exhibitions, we find a new language for exploring what unites us.
Our cornerstone program, Tapestry, is about celebration, exploration, and building a community through the arts. From the annual Milwaukee Jewish Film Festival to the year-round exhibitions and cultural events, Tapestry explores Jewish history, tradition, life, and future in a way the entire community can appreciate.

"Each year we support Tapestry because we want our community to have access to the richness of theater, movies, and Jewish arts and ideas. The braiding of fellowship with others, while sharing common interests, means so much to us."
