Art Ventures reaches out into the lobby and draws people in.
There are places to sit, pause and consider.
Experiment with light, shadow, color and depth.
Sit within perspective.
Look at the range and beauty of color.
Create a Cornell-like diorama installation.
Lounge and look at short art films. 
Browse a library.
Work in a print studio.
Be up close and personal with a wall drawing mural. 
Consider the range artists use to express one idea.
Choose a Studio In a Box for a private activity.
