As the Holiday of Sukkot approaches the Creative Soul is gearing up to host it’s annual community exhibition.
Oct 12 – Nov 2, 2014
Opening Reception: Sunday Oct 12, 8pm (See below for additional events)
The Creative Soul Gallery
386 Kingston Ave in the heart of Chassidic Brooklyn.
Everyone is invited to celebrate the diverse creativity within the Chassidic community.
Due to the gallery’s proximity to the dancing on the street, the gallery is accessed via 486 Crown St (around the corner).
Four years ago the first Celebration of Creativity show came about almost by chance and was an instant success. Staying open all hours of the day and night attempting to keep pace with the dancing on the street the show was seen by hundreds. Titled ‘Chassidim of Color’ the show set out a ‘call for art’ to anyone who defined themselves as a Chassid and had creativity to share, to come hang their work in the show. The organizers of the even were amazed at both the turnout of the audience and the diversity of artists participating.
The show touched a need in the community and over the course of the year the Creative Soul was born.
The show touched a need in the community and over the course of the year the Creative Soul was born. Dedicated to exploring and celebrating Judaism through the arts, the Creative Soul is on a mission to find the relevance of creativity in the community and to use creativity to enhance Judaism.
On Tuesday October 14 the Creative Soul will host a ladies only dance party in the gallery. With the dancing right outside for the men, the ladies and girls in the community will have a chance to dance and celebrate in their own space, right near the action.
The 4th Annual Celebration of Creativity show will be open for a month with all work available for sale. The community is invited to come see the work and support living artists express their Judaism through their creativity.
