Current Call to Artists
Passages
What was. What is meant to be.
September 6, 2026 to November 17, 2026
A gate. A doorway. A window, a path, a bridge, an arch. Each is a passage — a marker between what was and what is meant to be.
As Rosh Hashanah opens the new year, we are invited into a season of teshuvah: return, reflection, and renewal. This exhibition asks artists to find that same movement in visual form — the moment of crossing, the threshold before transformation, the space between one chapter and the next.
Passages welcomes work that shows a clear entry or crossing: gates, doorways, windows, paths, bridges, arches, or similar forms. A Judaic or High Holiday lens is welcome but not required — what matters is the passage itself, and what it opens onto.

Introduction
Betzalel Art Gallery is built on the belief that every artist deserves a professional space to show their work — and that the Long Island Jewish community is richer when its artists are seen and celebrated. Three to four times a year, we open our walls to local artists whose work speaks to the themes of the Jewish calendar.
Our submission process is open, inclusive, and welcoming. We are particularly committed to artists who are newer to exhibiting, as well as to established artists who bring depth and experience to our community.
