The Gallery Lake Forest, in collaboration with The Guild, is excited to launch The Sunday Studio—a new series of Sunday afternoon gatherings centered on seasonal cuisine, creativity, and community. The inaugural event, taking place on Sunday, April 12th, welcomes Roslyne Smith Art as a featured collaborator.

Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully prepared seasonal lunch, followed by a live demonstration from The Guild on creative and approachable ways to style and entertain within the home. After lunch, Roslyne Smith Art will lead a hands-on painting experience—using aprons instead of easels—inviting playful experimentation and self-expression. Each participant will take their painted apron home as a lasting memento of the day.
