LA Six Point Fellows Announced!

The Six Points Fellowship announces their LA fellows, including our very own William Deutsch, LA coordinator for Jewish Art Now!

The Six Points Fellowship supports artists working in the areas of music, performing arts, media arts and visual arts that are involved with diverse and innovative projects that tackle significant Jewish issues.

Full list of LA fellows: Nina T. Becker (Jonas), Will Deutsch, Jessie Kahnweiler, Sasha Perry, Paul Ratner, Corrie Siegel, Kristen Smiarowski, Tali Tadmor and Yelena Zhelezov.

The Fellowship officially begins in November 2011. Over the course of the two-year Fellowship, the artists will present their work through exhibitions, concerts, performances and public installations throughout Los Angeles. Their projects range from a film exploring the true story of a Jewish Indian Chief, to a dance about historic memory of the Holocaust, to a Yiddish Swing Cabaret entitled “Ella Fitzgeraldberg.”

Will Deutsch’s project “Notes from the Tribe” will be a series of illustrations depicting various Jewish traditions and biblical characters, inspired by the golden age of cartooning.
