On display now at the Springfield Museum of Art (Ohio)

In a fast-paced world full of keyboard clicks and calendar commitments, ten young women and their mother figures joined Project Jericho and took the time to be together, write together, and create together. Local artist and educator Michelle Carn helped the women explore writing activities that led them to learn more about one another and themselves. Vicki Murphy, a Columbus-based artist, guided the women in the creation of multimedia butterfly wings that are unique, yet fit together. Their butterfly wings on display in the lobby of the Springfield Museum of Art through the month of May.

This program was a reminder that in this wild and busy life we have to connect with and lean on each other. Because everyone needs something to hold on to.

A special thank you to Simon Kenton Inn, Morningside Meadows Flower Farm and Springfield Museum of Art (Ohio) for making the celebration of this program extra special.

This program was funded in part by Women's Partnership Funds of Clark County, Ohio
