🎨Join us for a creative conversation across generations!

Tomorrow night (Wednesday, March 18) at 6pm, multidisciplinary artist Althea Jones and former commercial artist Brian Jones sit down at the Odom Boulevard Branch Library to explore their artistic journeys, shifting perspectives, and the stories that shaped their work.

Hear Brian Jones reflect on his path through the commercial art world and the industry’s evolution over the years. It’s a rare chance to learn from two local creatives with rich, distinct experiences.
