Philanthropy Spotlight: Cultural Arts

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, the JCCNV is able to provide quality programs, activities and services to a diverse and growing community. Below, we highlight one program that could not exist without the financial support of our community.

Fiddler on the Roof is an iconic example of Jewish culture. But “Fiddler,” as we know it today, developed as a result of many artistic works: the initial idea came from stories by Shalom Aleichem, which inspired a musical whose title was inspired by a Marc Chagall painting. Soon after, the musical was adapted for film. Each step of development enriched the story, broadened its reach and helped cement Fiddler’s place in society. Each of the works was championed by patrons of the arts who encouraged the new initiatives.

Cultural arts programming furthers our mission by helping to engage people of all generations and backgrounds, and providing texture and insight into the rich cultural history and contemporary trends of the Jewish people. The JCC of Northern Virginia has a long history with the arts, including a professional theater company, fine-arts exhibits, hosting JCC Maccabi ArtsFest®, as well as an array of dance, literary, theater, music and film offerings. Last fall, the Center took another step in furthering its commitment to cultural arts by launching a new Performing Arts Series and bringing together our ongoing cultural efforts into a cohesive department.

A year into this initiative, we are beginning to develop our audience and build our reputation as a home for quality arts in the community. As is typical in the arts, the cost of quality programs dramatically overshadows the revenue brought in from ticket sales. By cultivating donors and crafting a variety of corporate sponsorship opportunities, we have made a good start in building the support needed to continue down this path. For the department to grow and thrive we will require the same support from you that earlier patrons provided for the development of Fiddler on the Roof. We invite you to join our growing list of cultural arts supporters who understand that an investment in the arts is an investment in the Jewish community and in our community.
