Arthur Kraft (1922-1977) was a painter, sculptor, and muralist who, as he put it, wanted to be “left alone to create.”  Create he did and his work graced the covers of such magazines as Fortune and exhibits of his art were held in London, Rome, and New York among other locations.  While his life, art training, and career began in Kansas City, his life and work is interwoven with St. Joseph, Missouri, history too.  With that in mind, the Glore Psychiatric Museum featured exhibit from January 16 through July 16, 2020, will be Arthur Kraft:  Sounds of Fury.

Arthur Kraft:  Sounds of Fury exhibit will feature a collection of his black and white drawings, a selection of his paintings, and a copy of The Sounds of Fury from the Glore Psychiatric Museum collection.  The Guest Curator for the exhibit is St. Joseph resident and professional photographer Megan Wyeth.  When she was seven, her parents commissioned two paintings from Kraft. She still remembers his use of vivid colors. Arthur Kraft:  Sounds of Fury will open at the Glore Psychiatric Museum, 3406 Frederick Avenue, on January 16.   Visitors can tour the exhibit through July 16, 2020, during the regular museum hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.  Museum admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, (62 and above) and $5 for students.  Museum members and children under six are free of charge. For more information, please call 816-232-8471 or visit stjosephmuseum.org to learn about St. Joseph Museum events, exhibits, and rental facilities.

The winner of Broadway.com’s Audience Choice Award for Best Musical, this breathtaking smash “captures the kid-at-heart,” says Time magazine. Finding Neverland tells the incredible story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful widowed mother. With a lot of faith and a little bit of pixie dust, Barrie takes a monumental leap to write a play that will astound theatergoers, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is impossible, and the wonder of childhood lasts forever. Packed with mesmerizing visuals, irresistible songs and plenty of laughs, Finding Neverland is a timeless story about the power of imagination and spectacular proof that you never really have to grow up.

How do you get your children excited about science and math?  Treat them to the experience that is Super Science Saturday!  They can solve a math maze, try biology, physics, and chemistry experiments, meet amazing creatures, and much more!  This
annual event takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, January 25, in the Remington/Agenstein Hall at Missouri Western State University, in St. Joseph, Missouri.  Presented by the St. Joseph Museum and MWSU, the day will include hands-on activities, courtesy of MWSU, area high schools, Hy-Vee, the Remington Nature Center, as well as KQ2 and KNPN television stations.

The St. Joseph Museum will return to its roots again this year with Super Science Saturday, reflecting the Museums’ original founding as a Children’s Museum over 90 years ago. The Children’s Museum was a project of the Natural Science Club of the St. Joseph Junior College, under the direction of club sponsor, and first museum director, Miss Orrel Andrews.  Super Science Saturday began in 2001 as an opportunity to bring area high school and Missouri Western State University science educators together with the community’s youth for one action-packed day of exploring the sciences.  Hands-on, kid-friendly experiments and projects are performed for — and with the help of — the students who attend.  Past experiments have included the sound sandwich, color wheels, and tetrahedron tower building.

So what’s new this year?  Why, you can make a Big Face Box to gigantify your head for one thing! Then there is the glow wall and the 3-D holograph illusion courtesy of science instructor Rich Piper of South Holt High School.  Thanks to Benton High School science instructor Daniel Benz and his student volunteers, there will be experiments relating to air and gas pressure too!  For a look at the science of health, Hy-Vee Store Dietitian Sheri Craddock, RD, LD will present experiments related to food choices and how to make wise ones.

 Along with a series of ongoing experiments,
MWSU Chemistry professors will present their always popular chemistry shows every
15 minutes beginning at 10:30 a.m. Visitors can also expect to see and participate
in “Fun with Biology”, a series of biology experiments presented by students
from the MWSU Biology Department featuring Bess Beetles, termites, and various
types of cockroaches.    

In the Bushman Planetarium, there will be
brief shows starting every 10 minutes that are available at no additional charge.

You just never know
what you might see in in the Creatures
programs, which will be given at 11 a.m. and at 12, 1, and 2 p.m. The Remington
Nature Center staff and volunteers will be presenting Missouri’s native
reptiles.  Learn about the diversity of
reptiles found right here in your own state.
Does an exotic reptile make a good pet?
Could be, but they will explain what it’s like to be an owner of these
unique and often long-lived animals.  Be
sure to stop by and meet their sulcata tortoise as well as many live snakes!

 As a challenge to youth and adults alike, a room-size “Math Maze” will be presented by Dr. Kevin
Andersen and Dr. Lori McCune in the entryway of Remington Hall at MWSU.
