Jasper Arts announces Brown Bag events

Brown Bag with the Arts is coming back to the Jasper Arts Center this Spring and so is local art connoisseur, art history enthusiast and humorist, Jennifer Wohlberg.

She will be acting as master sleuth and speaker for a three-part series of Brown Bag with the Arts Lunches titled, Mysteries, Murder and Mayhem in the Art World. Bring your lunch to the Jasper Arts Center for these exciting events on March 22, April 19, and May 17, 2018.

Brown Bag Lunches are designed especially with the fast-paced lunch hour in mind and will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and includes time for lunch, networking and the featured thirty-minute presentation.

Tickets can be purchased individually or as a series. Seating is limited. Call 812-482-3070. Ticket cost is $5 per event or $12 for all three and will include a “deadly delicious” dessert.

Friends and family will be “dying” to attend, so bring a guest for FREE! Details for the individual events are:
