As a member of the Vista Guild Association, the Koger Center for the Arts is proud to partner with the Jasper Project in Third Thursday Art Night. We feature a different artist every month with an opening reception on the Third Thursday of the month — but THIS month we’re hosting our opening reception on Friday, November 22nd, preceding Live in the Lobby Jazz: The Music of Miles Davis. Our featured artist of November is Janet Swigler. The reception is free and open to the public.

Artist Bio:
Since retiring in 2013 I have traveled numerous times to Ohio to study with Nancy Crow, an innovative quilt maker and a Master of her Medium in the Smithsonian Museum’s Renwick Alliance. A background of musical training and a career in music education provide me with additional perspectives and depth of artistic understanding. Travel – as a child in an Air Force family and as an adult, observations of daily life and nature, reflections on personal insights, and a regular tai chi practice inspire and inform my abstract creations.
