An exhibit of hooked rugs inspired by fraktur and organized by hooked rug artist Susan Feller of West Virginia, complemented by redware pottery from the Heritage Center collection and private collections.
Fraktur motifs are an inexhaustible design source for many craftsmen. In this exhibit we collected two media: clay and wool. Either using native clay or recycled woolen fabric, the traditional crafts of pottery making and rug hooking have been carried on for generations. (more)

The Greater Chicago Jewish Festival for 2010

Wednesday 10 February 2010 at 3:20 pm

The Greater Chicago Jewish Festival for 2010 is a special event. It will have all of the components that have been created over the years: three stages with music, dance and storytelling; a family stage; a Kosher Food Fair; an Art Fair and Organization Fair, but it will have a different focus.

This Festival marks 30 years since the first Festival drew the Chicago Jewish community together. Therefore, we will concentrate more of our performer time and artists on those from Chicago or with Chicago roots. You have to be at this Festival whether you are new to the event or remember them all.
