The Waltuch Art Gallery infuses Jewish art and/or works by Jewish artists into our shared cultural experiences. The exhibits are designed to ignite imagination and encourage people to connect the visual arts with philosophical and spiritual concepts through a creative Jewish lens.
The Waltuch Gallery exhibits rotate monthly, and feature the work of painters, photographers, digital artists and other creative designers.
Exhibits are free and open to the community, and most work is typically for sale. A portion of the proceeds support programming efforts at the JCC.
Outdoor gallery exhibits are displayed throughout the Kaplen JCC Campus and indoor gallery exhibits are on the second floor of the main JCC building.

Peter sees the world around him as picture possibilities. His landscapes photos were created from images captured on recent trips to Amsterdam, Mexico City, Big Bend Texas, and hikes in the Hudson River Valley. When combined they become a new reality intended to take the viewer to places in their imagination where anything is possible. Going beyond traditional landscape photography Peter’s Landscape Discovered pictures are intended to take the viewer to another level of experiencing what nature has to offer. Some are single straight shots others are composed of two, three or even four separate merged images. All have a story to tell intended to engage the viewer in settings consisting of information at once familiar yet out of context thus giving them a surrealistic accent. Born in New York City, raised in New Jersey, Peter has worked as a visual artist for more than forty years, thirty-seven of which were as visual art educator in the Ridgewood, NJ school system. Photography and darkroom skills were among the subjects he taught. In retirement, digital photography has been his means of creating. His artwork can be seen at www.petertilgnerphotoart.net. |
