Goddess Project makes ABC News!
Panel Discussion with the Women of The Ohio Innocence Project Makes the 6:00 News
So psyched that Cleveland ABC News5 came out to cover the Goddess Project: Innocents Panel Discussion March 20th!
It was an amazing event. I was honored and humbled to share the stage and meet these strong women who've been through more than we can imagine whether they were wrongfully incarcerated or loved someone who was. It is to their huge credit that they continue to work with the Ohio Innocence Project to help others who were wrongfully incarcerated
as they transition back into the world they have been robbed of for so long.
Thank you to Chagrin Arts for hosting the exhibit and the Panel Discussion.
Show continues through June 12th at Chagrin Arts in Downtown Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
The Goddess Project: Innocents @ Chagrin Arts
The Goddess Project: Innocents…Meet The Artist May 28 and June 11
For years now, Chagrin Arts has allied itself with the Ohio Innocence Project, a legal team whose mission is to fight for and
free those who have been wrongfully incarcerated, sometimes for decades.
For several years now, figurative artist, Judy Takács has been re-imagining the characters from the mythology of all the religions. She seeks to correct stereotypes, prejudices and damaging narratives that haunt us today.
In researching age-old mythology, Takács’ Goddess Project has found many women and goddesses, who were wrongfully punished, held in captivity, and vilified in the eyes of the world.
The Goddess Project: Innocents,
exhibition features Judy Takács’ colorful, classical-inspired figurative paintings of these heroines
through her contemporary feminist lens.
Takács’ book, The Goddess Project, is available at Chagrin Arts.

Believe it or not, digital copies (not NFTs) of
SIX of my paintings, Secure the Perimeter, The Skeptic, Charmed, Serenity Prayer (sold), The Orange Hoodie (sold)
and Miss Magnolia and the Red Stain (sold)
will be included in the Lunar Time Capsule
and joining NASA’s scientific payloads on
Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission One sometime in July 2021.

physicist Dr. Samuel Peralta.

Approximately 1200 artworks, books and one Artificial Intelligence-created project are digitally included in this time capsule to be archived on the moon via Astrobotic's Peregrine Lunar Lander, traveling on United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket.
Charmed (left)
How did my works get invited to make this historic ride? They were all included in various Poets/Artists Magazines over the years, and that was one of the many places
Dr. Peralta looked when choosing art for the moon…
right place at the right time!
Three of these historic works are sold, but the other three, pictured here, are still available.
Check ’em out at my online shop now, under the category, Art to the Moon!
Three Historic Announcements
Judy Takács achieves Signature Status with American Women Artists
With its mission of 25 Museum Shows in 25 Years, the American Women Artists organization is unique in its approach to advocating for women artists. I was proud to have achieved Associate with Distinction Status a few years back, and now have moved up to Signature Status with this esteemed organization.
Judy Takács Elected as Member of Historic Salmagundi Club in New York City
This is so special because I basically grew up in art hearing about the Salmagundi Club in New York from my Portrait Teacher at the Cleveland Institute of Art, José Cintron. He spoke of it with a reverence for the artistic giants of portraiture who have also been members since it began in 1871. William Merrit Chase, Norman Rockwell, Childe Hassam, N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle…even Louis Comfort Tiffany. The Salmagundi Club positioned itself at that lovely crossroads between narrative, representational art and illustration, at a time when that was going out of favor, they carried the torch.
Judy Takács Elected as Full Member of the Historic Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club
Catharine Lorillard Wolf was a major collector and patron of the arts at the turn of the last century. The CLWAC was established to honor her legacy. Thrilled to announce that I am the newest elected member of this prestigious and selective 122 year old Organization.
