The Koger Center for the Arts and OTM Gallery are excited to present Laura Spong: Timeless, an exhibit featuring an extensive collection of Spong’s larger-than-life paintings. This exhibit will be on display in the Koger Center’s orchestra level lobby, on the red wall surrounding the exterior of the main performance hall.

Third Thursday Art Night: Trahern Cook
About This Show
As a member of the Vista Guild, the Koger Center for the Arts partnered with The Jasper Project to open a new rotating art space, titled The Nook, in celebration of Third Thursday Art Night. February 2026’s featured artist is Trahern Cook, also known as Easel Cathedral.
Artist Biography
Trahern also goes by Easel Cathedral; he calls his style Relational and Experiential.
Easel Cathedral has coined himself a “Jam Painter” as so much of his subject matter is musicians of every genre playing everywhere from small taverns to large outdoor festivals. In those moments he explores brush strokes and colors matching the rhythm of the sounds being played.
As a “Live Painter” of events and weddings, Trahern creates visual stories of his surroundings in his own unique painterly style, marrying a free folk recklessness with a trained and practiced deliberateness. This performance shares the space with everyone in attendance, enhancing the moment and using the moment to inform the painting…

Orlando

February 26 – March 1, 2026, Orlando, by Virginia Woolf, Adapted by Sarah Ruhl, Directed by Patrick Michael Kelly, Benson Theatre, Sarah Ruhl’s adaptation of the “longest and most charming love letter in literature,” is a wild, fantastical trip through space, time and gender. Orlando’s story begins as a young man serving as courtier to Queen Elizabeth I, but his yearning for more takes him on a centuries-long adventure that finds him, in the 18th century, unexpectedly transformed into a woman. Orlando’s travels form the heart of a dazzling tale where gender and gender preferences shift regularly, with hilarious and heartfelt results. “…faithfully recreates the incidents Woolf uses to illustrate her ideas about the fluidity of gender and identity, and the great mysteries of time.” – New York Times,

An overzealous Neighborhood Watch has begun patrolling the streets, and as its political influence surges, fear and paranoia begin to creep into the bronies’ (and pegasisters’) circle of friendship. “Meyer’s story about a group of lonely outcasts reminds us that acceptance and community can indeed be magical – but sometimes magic can be dark.” – Time Out New York,
