Donna Klein Jewish Academy Showcases Student and Alumni Creativity in Art Exhibition at BRIC

BOCA RATON — Donna Klein Jewish Academy (DKJA) is proud to present the DKJA Student
and Alumni Art Exhibition, a multiyear showcase celebrating the creativity, growth, and artistic
voices of DKJA students and graduates. The exhibition will be on view from January 2026
through December 2027 as part of Art on BRIC Walls, a walking art exhibition throughout the
BRIC (Boca Raton Innovation Campus), located on T-Rex Avenue.

Featuring work created by current students alongside pieces by alumni from the Class of 2012
to the present, the exhibition highlights the lasting impact of DKJA’s visual arts program and the
meaningful connections formed in its art studios. Alumni artists, now living across the country
and pursuing diverse academic and professional paths, share artwork created during their time
at DKJA, offering exhibit visitors a powerful sense of continuity, inspiration, and community.

Donna Klein Jewish Academy is a vibrant, inclusive, and values-driven Jewish day school
serving students in grades K–12. Its Visual Arts program emphasizes creativity, exploration, and
self-expression, providing students with a strong foundation in materials, techniques, and visual
language. Through engagement with historical and contemporary art, digital media, and
ceramics, students use art as a means of personal, cultural, and Jewish expression.

“Art at DKJA is about more than skill building,” said Anita Schwartz, director of the arts for
grades K–12. “It is a way for students to find their voice, explore identity, and connect
meaningfully to the world around them. This exhibition reflects the care, thoughtfulness, and
growth that happen in our studios every day.”

The exhibition is supported by BRIC as part of Art on BRIC Walls, an initiative that transforms
the campus into an immersive art environment, integrating visual art and technology throughout
its corridors and shared spaces.



Participating DKJA art educators include:
● Nicole Szkwarek, lower school ceramics
● Megan Martin, lower school art
● Zoey Eisenband, middle school art and digital art
● Alexandra Hasson, high school ceramics and AP 3D design
● Rivka Bellehsen, high school art and middle school ceramics

● Anita Schwartz, director of the arts K–12, AP painting, drawing, and 2D design

The DKJA Student and Alumni Art Exhibition is open to the community during regular BRIC
campus hours (please visit workatbric.com for more information). Visitors are encouraged to
explore the exhibition over time, returning to experience the work in new ways and to reflect on
the creative journey shared by students past and present.
