Jane Wegscheider
Jane Wegscheider is a maker, community member, collaborator, and co-director of The Art Garden, a community-supported art-making space she founded in 2009 following her second Catwalk residency. Conceived as a social sculpture, The Art Garden has become a sustaining creative force within its rural community. Her artistic practice explores relationships, stories, and memories that shape what it means to be human — holding grief and joy simultaneously while responding to “sounds from the heart.” Through objects, environments, and experiences, her work investigates connection, care, and the transformative potential of shared creative engagement.
