The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta Set to Participate in 2007 JCC Maccabi ArtsFest® for Teens

Boca Raton is set to offer multi-media art, dance, digital media art, fusion musical ensembles/orchestra, rock/pop bands, theater (acting or musical theater), and vocal music. A culminating gala performance tops off the week. Teens entering grades 8-12 (minimum age of 13) interested in going to ArtsFest should contact Kenny Silverboard for more information.

The mission of JCC Maccabi ArtsFest is to enable JCCs to reach out to a wider teen audience through the arts. ArtsFest is designed to inspire Jewish teens through a dynamic combination of workshop, performance, exhibition, competition, community service, social activities, and fun to develop their individuality through the medium of artistic expression while strengthening their bonds to their Jewish heritage, community, and Israel. The first JCC Maccabi ArtsFest, held at the JCC of Greater Baltimore in 2006, was a resounding success.

Teens will enjoy home hospitality, social activities, and the opportunity to take part in Days of Caring and Sharing, a community-service project, as well as developing their artistic gifts under the direction of world class artists-in-residence.
