ART AS LIBERATION

Join the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara for JCafé, a weekly social program for the 65+ senior community, offering a delicious deli lunch followed by an engaging presentation, film, or lively discussion.

This program is $10 and takes place every Tuesday from 11:30am-1:30pm.

On Tuesday, February 3, JCafé will feature a presentation, ART AS LIBERATION, based on the book The Art of Symeon Shimin.

Tonia Shimin, curator and editor and Charles Donelan, essayist, will share stories, images and insight on the life and art of Tonia's father, Symeon Shimin, a Jewish immigrant from Astrakhan who became an important figure in American art.

This book will be available for purchase after the event.
