Northeast Ohio painter Judy Takács is well known for her figurative portrait paintings of women, paintings that tell visual stories about women’s lives, often with a political slant about the roles women are forced to play in society. Her works have been displayed in many juried shows, as well as numerous museums and galleries throughout the region. Her ongoing Chicks With Balls: Judy Takács paints unsung female heroes series has won two Ohio Arts Council grants. Her work pulls no punches: it’s aggressive, direct and confrontational, and doesn’t try to be vague or polite about obstacles women face and their treatment in the world today.
Now there’s an opportunity to see a concentrated quantity of her work, when Arts for Justice presents her show We the People … All The People: Paintings by Judy Takács to inspire hope and action for the 250th birthday of our United States opens at the Midtown Collaboration Center with a free, public reception on Thursday June 25. The show will be on view through Election Day, November 3, 2026. The gallery is open from Monday through Friday from 8am-9pm and Saturday from 8am-3pm.
