Comments
Not sure if this is relevant, but there is a very cool event at the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory in Druid Hill Park on Sunday from 11-3 called Art Under Glass. Local artists will be displaying and selling their works amidst the gorgeous and exotic setting of the Conservatory. It's $35 in advance, and $50 at the door. There will be light fare and drinks served, and a jazz ensemble.
