The Jaques Art Center has been bringing visual art experiences to the Aitkin area for 22 years. This weekend kicked off their latest exhibit, Community Canvas, created by people who live in and love the Aitkin area. We spoke with Barden Heft the President of the Jaques Board of Directors. He told us the history of the Jaques Art Center, explained the Community Canvas project and talked about what the Jaques Art Center brings to Aitkin.
