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.
