The Arts

Artistry Comes to Life at the Pozez JCC

For decades, the Pozez JCC has been a vibrant home for the arts, celebrating the breadth and depth of Jewish culture, identity, creativity, diversity, and resiliency through visual art, film, music, theater, and literary arts. From the Bodzin Art Gallery—presenting 7–10 annual exhibitions and showcasing artists working in painting, photography, jewelry, ceramics, glass, fiber, crafts, and mixed media—to the ReelAbilities Film Festival: Northern Virginia, memoir writing classes, and the Makheylah JCC Community Choir, the J offers meaningful opportunities to connect through the arts.

The Bodzin Art Gallery supports and encourages the development of local Jewish artists, artists with disabilities, artists exploring themes reflecting Jewish values, and Israeli art. Through its support of local Jewish artists, artists with disabilities, artists exploring Jewish themes, and Israeli art, the J has built a reputation as a respected cultural destination for artists, art enthusiasts, buyers, and sellers throughout the region.

Tracing Children's Thinking: Stories of Inquiry, Expression, and Belonging by ECLC

Tracing Children's Thinking: Stories of Inquiry, Expression, and Belonging celebrates the many ways young children make meaning of their world. Through inquiry, play, relationships, creativity, and collaboration, each classroom journey reveals the richness of children's ideas and the unique paths they take as learners.

From infants exploring through their senses to older children investigating identity, community, sound, storytelling, and nature, this exhibit highlights the visible traces of learning that emerge when children's thinking is honored, documented, and shared. Together, these stories invite us to see children as capable researchers, creators, and community builders who continually shape their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
