Arts Alive invites members who are eager to step behind the scenes of an arts experience and rub shoulders with the creative process. The 2017 series will explore the "intimacy of space" as imagined by a landscape architect, captured in a musical salon and depicted in the wearable art of a metalsmith. All three events will take place from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Seating is limited and preregistration is required at LVArtsCouncil.org. The admission fee for each event is $25 for members, $35 for nonmembers. There is special pricing of $60 for members only who purchase a three-event series ticket.The series kicks off with the How Does Your Garden Show? on April 29 at Garden Design Inc., with award-winning landscape architect Frederick Learey.
