It is dedicated to perpetuating the lifecycle of existing artwork on our campuses and bringing in new pieces and exhibits. Story of the Art Committee The Art Committee was formed in early summer 2014. The first project for the committee was to create a permanent exhibit for the Rubenstein Pavilion,
and the project was to be underwritten by Hand in Hand, Partners in Caring, the volunteer arm of our organization. “We knew we wanted to create something unique to the Jewish Home,” said Judy Margolis, chair of the Art Committee. “We also knew we wanted a photo mural, and so I started talking with the artist Tony Spolar to come up with ideas on what our theme should be. It became apparent that the fifth commandment, Honor Thy Father and Mother, is central to our organization and is meaningful to the population here.” The finished mural features more than 1,000 photos, telling the story of the Jewish community in Milwaukee. The photo mural dedication event was held in June 2015 with over 200 people in attendance. From the mural project, the committee then developed into accomplishing the task of keeping art in the forefront of our communities, and keeping the residents and visitors of the Jewish Home and Care see “Art Committee” page 4 The photo mural, created by artist Tony Spolar, in Rubenstein Pavilion.
