Conferences

Our conferences have been our flagship program, bringing together observant women in the creative and performing arts. They span 3-4 days and include workshops, master classes, panel discussions, performances, art exhibition and a Shabbaton. Classes are tracked for music, dance and theater, as well as topics such as scriptwriting, visual art, and the business side of the arts. Each conference typically includes 3-4 performance programs, including classical music, original music, dance, and a program for talented youth. The Shabbaton allows women to build relationships with each other, tell their personal stories and give or learn divrei Torah relating to the arts or creativity.

Sample Conference Highlights: Baltimore, MD, 2017

Testimonials

Visual Artist

Thank you for keeping me informed and connected to my creative side and others who feel the same way. When I opened your newsletter I felt that I received a breath of fresh air.

Past Conference Attendee

I was blown away by this past ATARA Women’s Performing Arts Conference! I witnessed the most amazing, talented, gifted and passionate frum women share, collaborate and mentor other frum female artists in dance, theater, song and music.
I encourage any woman looking to forward their endeavors in the arts to attend the full conference…and any woman like myself who loves performing arts, to attend!

Past Conference Attendee

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined frum women could be so professional and dynamic in the arts.  The weekend left me speechless.  I now have a renewed appreciation women empowering women, and especially for the unique gift of transformative female energy!

Past Conference Attendee

Thank you for giving me the opportunity seeing Torah observing women who are so talented. It made me so proud and inspired me to be more of a practicing Jew. This conference definitely enhanced my life.
