Best bet: Second Saturday

The Jackson Art Group will have April Second Saturday reception featuring Karron Kidd with acrylics, jewelry, scarves and hand-painted Easter eggs. Kidd will also show her bleeding heart series. The Jackson Art Group began hosting openings with local artists in November. It serves family-friendly snacks and beverages and shows off the talent in the area at the Steck House each week. The building is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and holds an artist reception the second Saturday of each month. This month, the Steck House will open at 10 a.m. today as well, in conjunction with First Presbyterian Church's basement sale.
