A path to celebrating & understanding the Jewish experience in the arts

SHVILIM (Hebrew for ‘paths’) is a new initiative focused on enhancing the visibility of Jewish culture in Ontario's arts landscape while supporting the arts sector to address antisemitism.

The survey of arts organizations in Ontario and questionnaire for Jews in the arts have now closed. We are grateful to the participation of colleagues across the province. The SHVILIM team is in the process of working with the information gathered, which is informing next steps. To learn more about SHVILIM, please visit our FAQ page and stay in touch by signing up for our occasional newsletter.
