The Jewish Women Artists' Circle is a women's artist collective based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. It was founded by Lucy Rose Fischer in the summer of 2005.[1]

The group consists of a number of women artists in different fields, who study with scholars on Jewish themes and have developed a number of exhibits.[2] The collective's 2008 exhibition Neshama: Visions of the Soul was held at the University of Minnesota's Larson Art Gallery.[3] Their 2010 exhibition, Tikun:Repair, was held at Adath Jeshurun Congregation and the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis.[4]
