This exhibition features woodcut prints and collages by artist Naoko Matsubara. The works in this exhibition are drawn from the artist’s extensive exploration of the world of nature and Japanese folklore.

The Garden Photo workshop

Every Thursday from May 22 to June 26 | 6-8:30pm 

$250 Members
$275 Non-Members

A garden can be many things; it can be a relaxing refuge, a creative outlet for learning and experimentation, a place to watch things grow, where you gather ingredients for your dinner, or a welcoming space for pollinators and birds. What meaning does your garden hold for you and what stories can you find there?

In this six-week workshop you will learn how to go beyond taking snapshots to think more deeply about how to photograph your garden and craft a compelling visual story.

You do not need to have your own garden to participate, but you will need access to a public/private garden or green space for the duration of this course. All gardens and all cameras are welcome!
