‘Motherhood’
■ Josephy Center’s new show celebrates moms

JOSEPH — In a nod to moms
everywhere, the Josephy Center
for Arts and Culture opens it’s new
exhibit “Motherhood” on Friday,
Feb. 26.
“2020 has been a tough year
for women,” stated a center press
release. “COVID-19 school closures
sent women back home to care for
children, act as teacher and mother
all while trying to work to keep
families together. The theme also
celebrates, honors and
delves into some of the
complexities of mother-
hood.”
For the last seven
years, the Josephy
Center has put out a call
for women’s artwork for
a show.
“It’s always been for
women, and women’s
art,” said Megan Wolfe,
Josephy program coor-
dinator.
This year’s show was
open to anyone as long
as the subject fi t the
theme of “Motherhood.”
Curator Aimee Jung-
mann selected 33 pieces
to display from works submitted
by 24 artists. The show includes
photography, paintings, poems and
sculptures.
There will not be an opening
reception due to COVID-19 restric-
tions. However, Josephy’s gallery,
at 403 N. Main St., Joseph, is open
Monday through Friday from noon
to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from noon
to 4 p.m. The artwork also can be
viewed online — and is for sale —
at www.josephy.org.
“Folks are welcome to come in or
experience it on our website,” Wolfe
said.
Jungmann will choose one piece
to receive a Curator’s Award. A
People’s Choice prize will also be
awarded. Each award-winning
work will receive $50.
“Motherhood” will be on
display through April 6.
The Josephy Center hosts
Brown Bag discussions on
most Tuesdays at noon, and
Wolfe said several upcoming
talks will revolve around the
theme of the show.
“Sometimes we talk with
artists or the curator,” she
said.
For the time being, the gather-
ings are virtual. Check Josephy’s
website for more details.
