36 Under 36: MUSIC ENTREPRENEURS & THE ARTS

Jackie Miller remembers all too well being a Jewish actress on campus. “I didn’t feel there were opportunities available for me,” she says. Not that she didn’t have appropriate venues; New York University, where she graduated from in 2002, had plenty. Nor was there a shortage of Jewish organizations. There just weren’t any that combined the two. Miller has changed that. This year alone, she organized nearly 30 programs for artistic Jewish students at six colleges in New York, in her role as program manager for “Arts on the Move,” a new initiative under the umbrella of Avoda Arts (avodaarts.org), a non-profit that integrates the arts into Jewish education.
