JSP was founded on the belief that each one of us is created creative.

Our Mission

Jewish Studio Project cultivates creativity as a Jewish practice for spiritual connection and social transformation.

Our Vision

We envision a future in which every person is connected to their inherent creativity.

Cultivating creativity is a core competency for navigating our changing world.

JSP’s unique methodology, the Jewish Studio Process, cultivates creativity in a Jewish context. It combines accessible Jewish learning with art therapy best practices, opening new pathways to Jewish engagement and breakthroughs in personal and organizational wellbeing.

Since 2015, JSP has become a go-to resource for accessible Jewish learning and spiritual connection across the country. JSP is building a diverse international leadership network to activate the creative power of the Jewish community. Our work provides new pathways into meaningful Jewish engagement as well as practical tools that promote mental health, resiliency, professional revitalization, and collective work for liberation.
