KFAR Jewish Arts Center  
SUPPORT KFAR

In late 2001, KFAR Jewish Arts Center was formed to present contemporary Jewish arts, music and cultural events in the Chicago area.  Our first event featured Australian Jewish punk band Yidcore at the intimate Chase Café in E. Rogers Park.  We expected 40 people to show up.  The intimate cafe was packed with nearly 150 hip young Jews from every background and geography.  

As we approach our 3rd anniversary, KFAR is recognized for facilitating the most vibrant Jewish arts scene between New York and Los Angeles. by year's end, we will have presented over 40 events featuring top notch talent.  We have partnered with Jewish and other communal organizations and have been repeatedly praised in major local and national press.

KFAR's energy has created a cultural buzz in the Jewish community, especially among its young adults.   We have expanded our program offerings in quality and quantity.  Exciting things are happening and we are very excited.

Though KFAR is counted among the top Jewish arts presenters in America, we are dramatically under funded.  Similar organizations in other cities receive Federation support or allocations, but KFAR instead relies on ticket revenue and the support of dedicated individuals like yourself.

Read about KFAR in the local and national press:

Bnai Brith Magazine: "A Trailblazer..."

Chicago Reader: "Not your father's klezmer."

Chicago Tribune: "KFAR couldn't plan it better..."

The Forward:   "KFAR-On the fringe no more."

Though KFAR serves the entire community, we are not a communally funded agency.  We have come this far with little help, but as demand for our programs increases, we seek your participation to grow into a world class organization. 

We cannot do it alone. For all of our success, all the praise, partners and presentations, KFAR relies on your  support to continue its work. 

If you've enjoyed our programs, please help us secure a future for our organization with a donation.  Contributions at the $100 level will include a set complimentary tickets to our upcoming show.  To make a tax-deductible contribution through our our fiscal agent, the National Foundation for Jewish Culture, follow the instruction below.    Thank you for your support.
