Some pieces are interactive with a piano (please only play if you know how), swing, stone stacking, a seating that invites you to relax as a magnetic ball cuts through sand.

RLS, along with many other galleries, will be open to the public and have wine tastings. It's a great social event where you can meet with the locals and artists.
