Meet the Artist with Jacqueline and Dane Scotcher

Meet exhibiting artists Jacqueline and Dane Scotcher, for an informal tour of their exhibition “Boundary Rider”. The artists will provide insights into their creative process, the why and how of making the work, and their experience collaborating as artists and siblings.
