About the Facilitators:

Kathy Rogers and Chris Jones – both artists and ACWL-Nuveen volunteers – will be facilitating this open studio, with assistance from ACWL-Nuveen staff.

Chris Jones was first introduced to the arts in the White Lake area through productions at the Playhouse at White Lake. He has explored the arts through a diverse range of disciplines and has a strong background in non-profit and retail. Chris enjoys taking classes through the ACWL-Nuveen, learning new creative skills, and sharing his knowledge with others.

Kathy Rogers is a retired art teacher for Whitehall District Schools and has been an active member of the ACWL-Nuveen wearing many hats since 1999. As an artist herself, her paintings can be seen in the gallery. Kathy continues to be a life-long learner and teacher.

ACWL-Nuveen classes are supported in part by CatchMark Technologies, the Michigan Arts & Culture Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Nuveen Benevolent Trust.
