     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. Check out the music line-up at
