Minerva: Harmony to Hollywood
Inspired by New Harmony鈥檚 own Minerva Society, this exhibition focuses on strong female influences spanning from local New Harmony to the limelight of Hollywood. The works selected by our juror portray the embodiment of the goddess Minerva through the modern lens.
Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom, medicine, commerce, handicrafts, poetry, the arts, and later, war. She is seen as the Roman equivalent of Athena and oversaw all things that required forethought and calculation. She is often seen in a helmet, holding a shield, and would carry a spear.
Named after the goddess, The Minerva Society in New Harmony was a literary club for the women of New Harmony, founded by Constance Owen Fauntleroy in 1859. It is considered one of the earliest women's clubs in America. The club members called it The Minerva Society because they 鈥渨ished to become wise.鈥�
