JOSEPH – (Press release from the Josephy Center for Arts & Culture) The Josephy Center for Arts & Culture, in partnership with The Josephy Library of Western History & Culture and a Nez Perce support team, is proud to announce the return of its Nez Perce art exhibition, The Nez Perce Story Continues, opening Saturday, June 6, 2026, and running through July 25, 2026.
Developed in collaboration with Nez Perce curator Jordan Shawl and a Nez Perce support team, this year’s exhibition expands on a predecessor that drew an enthusiastic community response.
