   The gallery is now transformed into studio space for a dozen artists who work in various media but are all inspired by natural settings. That translates into opportunities for visitors to work alongside the artists in free workshops open to about a dozen participants each. With space tight, we recommend registering early, though if there any openings the day of a workshop, we will accommodate drop-ins.
