Art Kibbutz has participated at Figment, one of NYC's hottest art spots and one of the most creative fun events of the summer, for three years in a row featuring 50+ artists, David Koren, the founder of Figment joined our Advisory Board. We have adopted many of Figment's principles in our work. We brought innovative Jewish art projects to Figment, .

These mini-residencies provided an opportunity for our resident artists to work together in community and include the general public in their project.

The Sephira Trail Project in 2014
The SEPHIRA TRAIL was an interactive outdoor event related to the Kabbalistic spiritual values called Sefirot and the Four Worlds of Creation. Co-sponsored by The Carlebach Shul, in this project children and adults alike took an actual journey through booths. Fun and creative hands-on learning opportunities included crafts, playing, meditation, kumzits as an art performance, sensual treasure hunt, art presentations mafe this program a uniquely fun and inspiring kabbalistic public art experience. 

In the midst of celebrating a burst of creative energy, we provided a quiet space - at the festival as well as inside - for many who were open to learning something about the world and themselves from a Jewish perspective through the arts. One of the participants was Barry, one of the main organizers of Figment. He said, 'I haven't had such a meaningful, beautiful Jewish experience in years,' and he invited Art Kibbutz to the closing circle of the whole festival to give a blessing and present Jewish perspectives on peace.

Open Studios in 2016

Open Studios and NaNach Chassidic Electro Party in 2015

On Sunday, June 7th our Creative Family Circle co-sponsored Art Kibbutz's first Open Studios of the season as part of Figment. Thousands of visitors viewed art-in-progress, met artists-in-residence, enjoyed Jewish learning, presentations, readings, Jewish art workshops for all ages, and live music. Art Kibbutz artists were featured at FIGMENT Festival's Main Stage. We provided a 'Party like a true Chassid' dance event featuring the Na Nach Van from Monsey with fun, Chassidic spirit to electro party, which was a good fit for: performers Blanket StatementStein and ShinShinMem spread simcha and made homies dance. We ended the day with a children's concert with Mr Shabbos and hands-on art workshops. 
On June 5th, 2016 our team of artists participated at a busy day of art making when Governor's Island was transformed into an artsy playland with an art minigolf course, architectural pavilion, interactive sculptures, and over 130 projects. Art Kibbutz presented its first Open Studios of the season. Photos
