Koger Center Arts Roundup

During the Koger Center's closure, we created a project titled the "1593 Project: A Call for Art." We challenged artists of all mediums from all genres to submit work that they created during their quarantine. Our winner, Kimberly Case, talks with Nate about the process behind her whimsy-inspired photography and how she came to create her winning exhibit, "In the Time of COVID." If you would like to see some of her work, go to KogerCenterForTheArts.com.
