Virtual Seminar: Meditative Spaces with Artist Tobi Kahn

Join us on Wednesday, September 18th at 6pm ET for a virtual seminar with award-winning artist Tobi Kahn.

The Museum at Eldridge Street is proud to feature our current exhibition Memory and Inheritance: Paintings and Ceremonial Objects by Tobi Kahn, showcasing Kahn’s luminous paintings and his singular Judaica in our historic synagogue home, inviting reflection and meditation.

In recent years, Kahn has been making paintings, sculptures, and spaces for communities that seek both contemplation and commemoration, offering a respite from our daily lives, and an interlude of healing. Join us on Zoom with Tobi Kahn for a deep dive into these meditative spaces, along with the meanings and motivations behind them.

In his art, Kahn strives to connect to the spirituality in each of us, regardless of faith. The spaces discussed in this program will include the HealthCare Chaplaincy Meditative Space in New York City. Commissioned after 9/11, this environment was created by Kahn in 2002 as a haven for clergy of all faiths to find a peaceful moment, and still exists today as a sanctuary for chaplains visiting hospital patients.

Please see the Zoom link in your order confirmation email. This program is entirely virtual.

Registration for this Zoom program is pay-what-you-wish. The following are suggested amounts for each ticket type:
Adults $12
Seniors $10
Students $8
