Joe & Jo's Downtown Restaurant and Pub: Art Reception with Megan Koslofsky & Live Music with the Ladyfest Music Festival. Artist Bio: Megan grew up in Durham and discovered the love of art without any formal training as a kid, creating collages and sculptures "from the things around me." She attended the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design and learned about materials, mediums and techniques, "adding more tools to my bag of tricks." It was there that Megan discovered printmaking. "My printmaking teachers were good for me and taught me as much as they could about the different types of printmaking and techniques, allowing me to exploit the potentialities of the medium. I graduated and moved back to Durham the same day. I am enjoying being back in down South."
Lady Fest Music Festival: Live music at Joe & Jo's all night! Ladyfest is a festival organized by local women of all identities to showcase, celebrate and encourage the art and activism of women everywhere. Ladyfest NC is a music and arts festival benefiting local organizations that support women.
