Historical information describing its programs under the Cultural Center remains below.
The CJE House has brought together an impressive group of successful artists and supporters (Mentor Board) that have agreed to work with the residents in their chosen field, should they request such guidance. The Mentor Board has among its ranks best-selling authors, Emmy, Tony and other major award-winning working artists and related professionals that are willing to volunteer their time and mentor our residents.
The pool of residents will include writers (screenwriters, playwrights, poets, short story writers, novelists and journalists), artists (both fine and commercial), musicians and photographers—including photographers and journalists that have served in conflict zones, the Middle East, Africa, and any geographical area worldwide that is covered by brave individuals willing to do whatever they can to bring stories to light.
The purpose is to simply provide a space—a month at a time, for those who have important and relevant projects to create—and to do so in an environment that will relieve them of the day to day challenges most artists face. Our goal is to provide an inspiring space for those veterans and individuals who have stories to tell and artistic projects to create.
