COVER STORY — JOSEPHY’S ‘GIFT OF ART’ FUNDRAISER
JOSEPHY CENTER MOVES
JOSEPH — In response to the
ongoing coronavirus situation,
the staff and board of the Josephy
Center for Arts and Culture have
adjusted the format of the annual
“Gift of Art” fundraiser supporting
youth art programs.
“Instead of a silent auction, we
decided to go for affordable art
that people can purchase and take
home or purchase online and pick
up,” explained Josephy’s execu-
tive director, Cheryl Coughlan in a
press release.
Although the traditional in-
person silent auction and celebra-
tion won’t be possible, submitted
artwork will be sold via online
auction and will also be displayed
at the Josephy Center, 403 N. Main
St., Joseph, for in-person viewing
when possible.
The auction goes live at 10 a.m.
Dec. 1 and concludes Dec. 24.
Funds raised by the Gift of
Art will give fi nancial support to
classes and activities for youth, and
scholarships that make it possible
for all to participate. All proceeds
will go toward the center’s classes
such as the Youth Art Friday pro-
gram, Art Bags and scholarships.
Youth Art Friday
The winter Youth Art Friday
session begins Jan. 8 and runs
Gift of Art FUNDRAISER ONLINE
through February (if public safety
protocols allow) and will include
ceramics, drawing and painting.

The book is about Saul In-
dian Horse, a child whose family
retreats into the woods. Among
the lakes and cedars, they attempt
to reconnect with half-forgotten
traditions while hiding from the
authorities who have been kidnap-
ping Ojibway youths.
But when winter approaches,
Saul loses everything: his brother,
his parents, his beloved grand-
mother — and then his home.
Book group members receive
15% off “Indian Horse,” available
for purchase at the Josephy Center.
