Donna Klein Jewish Academy is a vibrant, inclusive, and values-driven Jewish day school
serving students in grades K–12. Its Visual Arts program emphasizes creativity, exploration, and
self-expression, providing students with a strong foundation in materials, techniques, and visual
language. Through engagement with historical and contemporary art, digital media, and
ceramics, students use art as a means of personal, cultural, and Jewish expression.
“Art at DKJA is about more than skill building,” said Anita Schwartz, director of the arts for
grades K–12. “It is a way for students to find their voice, explore identity, and connect
meaningfully to the world around them. This exhibition reflects the care, thoughtfulness, and
growth that happen in our studios every day.”
The exhibition is supported by BRIC as part of Art on BRIC Walls, an initiative that transforms
the campus into an immersive art environment, integrating visual art and technology throughout
its corridors and shared spaces.
Participating DKJA art educators include:
● Nicole Szkwarek, lower school ceramics
● Megan Martin, lower school art
● Zoey Eisenband, middle school art and digital art
● Alexandra Hasson, high school ceramics and AP 3D design
● Rivka Bellehsen, high school art and middle school ceramics
