Last Thursday, a Town Hall was held at the Montevideo Community Center with representatives of the agency, First Children’s Finance in attendance to discuss the current child care needs, and ideas for how to address the issue.

Jamie Kalvestran is the current artist exhibiting inside Java River in downtown Montevideo. Kalvestran has been artist since she was a very young child growing up in north central Wisconsin. As a young adult, she worked as a banker before she decided to pursue art school in Minneapolis. Her formal, technical training is in product development and design. Kalvestran currently has over 15 vendors listed on her website, the majority being textile designs. She sells prints of her designs as well as offering licensing for products. Kalvestran’s current works being displayed on exhibit in Java River are abstract in expression while also having touches of realism. Her work is like art inception, or like those hidden objects games in the kids’ magazine Highlights, except instead of looking for kids toys you’re looking for another face or another being altogether that’s been blended into the layers.
