The purpose of the SPARKS Resource Directory is to increase opportunities for Western Massachusetts* artists and other cultural professionals to create, publish, exhibit, teach, distribute, lecture, or perform their work, so that the larger community can experience it. Their portfolios include work based on or related to Jewish culture, themes, or concepts.

The directory will help private citizens, organizations, and program presenters identify sources for their education, entertainment, and enrichment needs and interests. The Directory will also provide a greater appreciation of the diversity of Jewish artists and scholars who make Western Massachusetts their home.

NOTE: The Directory will be offered as a public service to the community to raise the visibility of cultural professionals in Western Massachusetts, facilitate connections, and promote work opportunities. This is an unaudited listing -- NO review of qualifications, experience, or other claims has been made. While we ask that those who submit their information be practicing, producing professionals who are actively pursuing a career in the arts and humanities, we have not confirmed these claims. We leave it to those accessing this information to do their own research.

If you present or teach as an individual and are also part of a group/ensemble, please submit two separate applications, one for yourself and one for the group.
The information you provide will be edited if needed.
