About us

Acavia Arts is fueled by two things, family and art. Named after our founder’s family name, Acavia, pronounced AH-Kah-Vee-ahh, Acavia Arts mission is to create Bespoke Judaica and other homeware items for you to bring your family, chosen and biological, together.

About our Founder-Zoë

Zoë grew up in the midwest surrounded by art and Jewish community. Through her entire life there has not been a craft of medium she has not tried however sculpture and painting have been her preferred mediums.

After finishing her undergraduate degree in Art History, she went on to complete a Masters of Education in Experiential Jewish Education and Israel Education. Zoë’s hope is to fuse her passion for Jewish communal engagement with her love of Art by bringing the two together in creating bespoke Judaica and homewares.
