Check out the JCC’s latest Exhibit

Duck into a cool art gallery to escape from the muggy summer air – and, of course, to take in the works of local artists Laura Clark, Eileen Kleinman and Melinda Tepler. Inspired by the nuances of shared vision, the three women describe their works as “several hours a week of connection, conversation and production,” with “colors and shapes that bloom from the paper, often in series, [and] illustrate both unique single creation and a shared spark.
