Our vision
The Jewish Arts Quarter will be an inclusive destination that celebrates Jewish arts and culture with great museum experiences, art, theatre, education, learning, music, food, shopping and new public spaces for everyone.
A Vibrant Cultural Destination
The Jewish Arts Quarter will be anchored by a new landmark multi-use community hub at 7 Selwyn Street (JAQ7) – the new home for the Jewish Museum of Australia: Gandel Centre of Judaica, Kadimah Jewish Cultural Centre and National Library, and a Community Co-working Space.
Selwyn street will be transformed into a pedestrian-focused piazza,
with a range of food and beverage offerings.
