Its aim is to create in Chicago a Jewish art center which shall have the following departments: (1) A gallery for paintings and sculptures of Jewish artists, (2) A library of graphics, for impressions of etchings and wood-outs of Jewish engravers, (3) An art library, for books and research material on Jewish art and artists, (4) A museum of antiquities to contain treasures of the Synagogue.

Mr. Todras Geller, the well known Jewish artist, was elected acting director of the newly formed association.
