Art and Coffee is an opportunity to gather and connect over the shared love of art.   The pressures of modern living often distract us from the beauty that surrounds us. Art and Coffee is a moment to pause and savor the beauty of a work with a community of art appreciators and enthusiasts. The second Saturday of each month we will feature a speaker that is contributing to Jackson’s cultural ecosystem.
