ALTON - Jacoby Arts Center brings you a visual experience of the history, architecture, and design of the Jacoby building. Please join us for our first exhibit of 2023, “Love Letter to Jacoby: Mementos of a Landmark. This exhibit is showing from Feb 1, 2023, to Mar 18, 2023, and spans not only 1 but 2 First Friday Events. This Exhibit is a collaboration of two local artists, Jenna Muscarella and Michael Snider, who have dedicated a large amount of their adult lives to preserving the past and “improving quality of life through creating meaningful, memorable works of art that engage the viewer, facilitate thought, and inspire [the community]” says Michael Snider. Jenna Muscarella believes, “This exhibit not only belongs to Jacoby but anyone involved and inspired by the building over the years.”
