Resilience, Reflection, Rebuilding: Artists Respond to Covid-19
The arts have the remarkable ability to create a sense of togetherness, belonging, and community. They can help decrease stress, loneliness, and anxiety. They can provide opportunities to reflect, process experiences and feelings, imagine what our future might look like, and connect us through our common humanity.

In this exhibit we’ve asked local artists to create a reflection of their experiences and feelings during the COVID-19 pandemic and to consider the pandemic as a catalyst toward change. This show will complement the temporary exhibit, Rising to the Challenge: Suburban Strength in Difficult Times, presented by the Johnson County Museum.

Artwork voted on by the public and approved by the Johnson County Museum Collections Committee will become part of the Johnson County Museum’s permanent collection as part of its Collecting COVID-19 initiative. The winning artist(s) will be awarded a financial prize. (Note: Artists have the option to opt out of the competition.)

The collecting competition has been generously underwritten by the Johnson County Museum Foundation. The Johnson County Museum Foundation, the not-for-profit partner of the Johnson County Museum, supports and promotes exhibit development, educational programs, and special events at the Johnson County

This opportunity is presented in partnership with the Johnson County Museum. To find out more about the Johnson County Museum, please visit https://jcprd.com/330/Museum.
