Announcing the New JSS Blog Editor
I would like to welcome Larry Groff as the new editor of the Jerusalem Studio School blog. I’m enthusiastic that his experience with editing his Painting Perceptions blog will bring us a valuable asset. Painting Perceptions, features interviews with a wide variety of contemporary perceptual painters and stories relevant to modern figurative painting. Working as the new JSS blog editor, he will continue our tradition of providing thoughtful and engaging interviews with leading painters as well as looking for additional compelling subject matter and enhancements to the blog that will help expand our international readership.
Larry Groff has been a friend of the Jerusalem Studio School and attended the JSS Summer program in Italy in 2010. He also helped organize one of Stuart Shils’ workshops in San Diego, California. He lived in Boston most of his life but moved to Southern California a few years ago. He has an MFA from Boston University and BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art where he studied with George Nick. Larry has been a painter for over 25 years and you can view his website here.

Dear Friends of the Jerusalem Studio School,
Welcome to the JSS Benefit Auction.
The works seen here are available now at the presale prices listed and those not sold will be auctioned live during the benefit event at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects on February 21st.
Twenty-six acclaimed American artists, two distinguished art dealers and admired colleagues have donated outstanding work to help the JSS out of a crisis created this past summer when the executive director of the school disappeared leaving it with a $450,000 debt. It has been very moving to witness the support of so many people during this critical period. The new Israeli board members dug deep into their own pockets to ensure that the school opened this fall. The generosity of these artists that we so highly regard, stems from their knowledge and experience of the uniqueness of the Jerusalem Studio School. It is a professional vote of confidence of which all of us at the JSS are very proud.
Thank you to all of who made this benefit possible: the 26 contributing artists, Roy Davis & Cecily Langdale of Davis Langdale Company, Inc, Barbara Weis JSS Chairperson, Linda Adams JSS Board member, Peggy Brill and Kyle Staver volunteers.
We look forward to seeing you at the Live Auction, an important evening for the future of the Jerusalem Studio School.
If you will not be able to attend, please feel free to buy Presale or donate generously via Donate Sideways.
With much appreciation for your participation.
