The California Jewish Open is The Contemporary Jewish Museum’s first major open-call exhibition. It took place following Oct 7, 2023, when the need for connection was especially relevant, inviting Jewish-identifying artists living throughout California to respond to the question: How do artists engage with the many aspects of Jewish culture, identity, and community to foster, reimagine, preserve, or discover connection?
I developed a campaign identity using typography and a continuing drawn line to emphasize the exhibition's theme of connection, paired with a sunset-inspired color palette to symbolize the artists' shared home of California. The multi-channel marketing campaign applied this identity across print, collateral, digital, social, and out-of-home to raise awareness of The Museum and the exhibition throughout the Bay Area, reinforcing the theme experienced in the onsite environmental graphics.
