JOSEPH — Horizon Lines, a new art exhibit exploring both the literal and metaphorical concept of horizons, will open with a special reception on Friday, Feb. 28, 7-9 p.m. at the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture, 403 N. Main St.

The exhibit will run through April 5. It offers visitors an opportunity to experience a wide range of artistic interpretations surrounding the theme of boundaries, possibilities and the unknown.

The exhibit, curated and judged by multimedia artist and graphic designer Silje Harlander, features 59 talented artists and showcases an impressive collection of 106 artworks. From sweeping landscapes to deeply personal journeys, abstract interpretations to visions of the future — Horizon Lines highlights the distance between the known and unknown, and the interaction between perception and what lies beyond.
