Many of you have been following our canoe journey, and some know about the big grant we received from the Oregon Community Foundation to have a Plateau Indian artist put Indian art on Main Street in Joseph.<\/p>\n

That one is a long process. We are recruiting artists now–deadline January 15–for a first selection of three artists, who will each be given $1,000 and a month to develop proposals. One of the three will then have a year–and a $25,000 artist\u2019s award–to complete an art project for Joseph\u2019s Main Street. If you know of Plateau artists who might be interested, let us know! The OCF grant will cover most of the costs of this project.<\/p>\n

Allen Pinkham Jr.\u2019s small canoe floats! There is a little polishing up to do, but he is now thinking about those 30 foot logs sitting in Jim Zacharias\u2019s log yard! We have some grant money for this project, but we will need more to get a traditional 30 foot Nez Perce dugout canoe on the Snake River in 2018!<\/p>\n

And we will need more to complete a \u201cWho Lived Here and How They Lived\u201d permanent exhibit on the Center\u2019s second floor next to the Library. Joan Gilbert, who designed the Josephy exhibit, is designing this one, and I think it is going to be good. The intent is to answer your questions–and those of visitors from across the world–about the Nez Perce who once lived here and who we at the Center, along with many others in this community, are now welcoming home.<\/p>\n

We are also working with Tam\u00e1stslikt on a summer 2018 exhibit. No end of good things going on here (I have not touched on the classes and exhibits and concerts that Cheryl has lined up), and I hope that you will be able to enjoy some of them in person.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on this Giving Tuesday, or anytime, for that matter, we\u2019ll appreciate your support of the Josephy Center and our good work. Check here to give online–https:\/\/josephy.org\/support-the-josephy-center-for-arts-and-culture\/–or give a call if you\u2019d like!<\/p>\n

Thanks–and the very best of holidays to you and yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
