Just another dazzlingly peaceful week in the gardens—if you can think of a sizzling performance Sunday by Ray Vega’s quintet in that way! Also happening on Sunday, at the other end of the gardens, is the next-to-last drop-in studio time with two of the artists in our Winter Workspace Session 2 in Glyndor Gallery. And another of the Session 2 artists, Cecile Chong, offers a workshop this week.
