The Sidney and Gertrude Zack Gallery is located in the centre of the active, bustling Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver on 41st near Oak. The mandate for this not-for-profit gallery is to enrich the lives of community members by exposing them to a diversity of art; to educate and develop an awarensess, knowledge and appreciation of visual art; and to build a sense of community.

With a primary focus on art created by visual artists in the local Jewish community or art which emulates Jewish life and culture, the gallery also serves as a venue for national and international artists. The exhibits vary in theme and medium from classical still life to contemporary abstracts. Paintings, drawings, photography, tapestry and sculpture have graced the walls and space. Gallery programs include evenings of poetry, music and art lectures. Visual art workshops and classes are offered.

Submissions are welcome throughout the year.

There is a call for submissions open to all visual artists for a group show called 'Celebrating Jerusalem'. The deadline for submissions is April 11. The show will  open on May 17. Click on the link below for an application. http://jccgv.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/Submissions-Jerusalem-2012.pdf
