The American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office announced three new traveling exhibits focusing on Jewish artists who have contributed to the culture of America and the world through their lives and work. Public, academic and special libraries, including museum libraries, and Jewish community centers are invited to apply by January 24 by visiting www.ala.org/jewishartists.
The exhibits were developed by Nextbook, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Jewish literature, culture and ideas, and the ALA Public Programs Office, with funding from Nextbook. The national exhibit tours have been made possible by grants from the Charles H. Revson Foundation, the David Berg Foundation, and the Nash Family Foundation, with additional support from Tablet Magazine:A New Read on Jewish Life. Successful applicants will host one traveling exhibition for a six-week period between April 2011 and February 2012 and receive programming and technical support from the ALA Public Programs Office. Participating libraries are expected to present at least two free public programs for adults on themes related to the exhibtions. All showings of the exhibition must be free and open to the public. Each of the exhibits requires at least 200 square feet of display space.
