JCC Culture Mavens Headed to Schmooze

Our consultant on arts, culture and ideas, Randy Lutterman, arranged for JCC arts professionals to attend the Schmooze Jewish Culture Conference at a discounted rate, and 31 JCC staff members came to the meeting this week in New York City. The conference is the annual gathering of the IJPA (International Jewish Presenters Association), an extensive arts network that works to advance the growth of Jewish culture by linking the presenters of culture with artists, distributors, and booking agents of musicians, dancers, theatre companies, filmmakers and other talent. Randy hosted a meeting of JCC professionals just before the conference, as well as presenting at the meeting. The conference was capped by the nightly two-day Oy!hoo Music Festival.
