Join us for the opening reception of 70 Seeds, a group exhibition imagining vibrant, pluralistic Jewish life in the United States in the year 2070—exactly 2,000 years after the fall of the Second Temple.

Using speculative art and interactive installation, the exhibition brings together 11 American Jewish artists working across visual art, performance, interactive installation, sound design, and digital media. Drawing on strategic foresight frameworks, Jewish rituals and texts, alongside their own questions, hopes and dreams, the artists work in soft, gathered, and digitized materials to imagine textures of Jewish community, ritual, identity, diaspora, and belonging nearly 50 years from now.

This exhibition is not a prediction. It is an invitation: to see yourself in a future you help shape. The digital and in-person exhibitions will be accompanied by two weeks of artist talks, community visioning workshops, immersive programming, panels, and performances, supported by education and facilitation guides enabling community learning, adaptability and accessibility. You can learn more about the exhibition and programming offerings here.

The opening reception offers a first look at the exhibition alongside light refreshments and conversation. Several of the exhibiting artists will be in attendance, along with producer Becca Leviss of the Judeofuturism Project and curator Aimee Rubensteen of MyFi Studio, offering guests the chance to hear directly from the creative minds behind the work.

This event is free and open to the public, however, RSVPs are required due to capacity constraints. Donations to support the exhibition and future programming are welcome and appreciated.

We hope you'll join us for an evening of art, dialogue, and discovery.
