About

FENTSTER (meaning "window" in Yiddish) began in 2016 as an independent, artist-run exhibition space located in the storefront window of the grassroots Jewish community, Makom. For nearly 9 years, FENTSTER presented rotating, site-specific installations of contemporary art connected to the Jewish experience in a window in downtown Toronto.

Providing a window onto Jewish life through art, FENTSTER’s work is moving beyond the window gallery space - catalyzing critical conversations through exhibitions, programs, gatherings, and other initiatives furthering a commitment to creating a world free from oppression and to telling diverse stories connected to the Jewish experience.
