Jane Kaufmann News Today

Nestled within a cozy arrangement of storefronts on Hanover Street is the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, an office space likely disregarded by the masses on their way to and fro through nightlife. But beyond the smattering of desks, trendy office coffee bars and unironically cool neon signs lies a secret double life for the space: the conference room transforms into a curator's dream of endless white-and-brick ripe for works of art.

On Thursday, February 8, from 5-7 p.m., the Greater Manchester Chamber will present an artistic exhibition of free-thinking works by Jane Kaufmann. A lifelong artist of over 45 years in a variety of mediums, Kaufmann’s work in this exhibition pushes the boundaries of the cultural notions of art, materials, resourcefulness, aging, growth, and experimentation.
