Presentation: Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West

In 1937, architect Frank Lloyd Wright began the design for Taliesin West in the desert foothills of the McDowell Mountains. Taliesin, meaning “shining brow,” was designed to house Wright’s winter home, studio, and architectural apprenticeship program, the Taliesin Fellowship, which was held at the property from November to April of each year and continues today as the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture.

Virtual Exhibits/Museum Tours

Humans of Tel Aviv Exhibit
JCC Chicago is the proud host of the Humans of Tel Aviv Photo Exhibit from July 2019 through June 2020. During the past five years, photographer and journalist Erez Kaganovitz, the human behind Humans of Tel Aviv, documented the lives of Tel Aviv residents he meets on the streets. Through photographs, interviews and a large social media presence, Erez offers an inside look into the rich and diverse lives of the people of Tel Aviv while showcasing Israel’s vibrant, multi-cultural society.

What Erez loves most about this project is that it reaches others, not through his own ideas, but through the photographs and stories which speak for themselves. Inspired by the Humans of New York project, the diversity of Tel Aviv coupled with Erez’s curiosity and artistic talent resulted in over 1000 portraits and stories.

The exhibit consists of 36 mounted photographs and descriptions that have been installed in a number of local institutions to share the exhibit with the public beyond our own walls.
