Head to the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey in Summit as the Thursday Evening Salon Series returns for its eighth season. Sip a glass of wine or a soft drink and relax in a comfortable setting while discussing current topics in the arts, humanities, and the social sciences. Your hosts will include artists, art historians, curators, philosophers, writers, musicians, stage designers, and more. Eclectic in content and social in nature, the Salon Series provides an opportunity for everyone-regardless of educational or professional background-to gather and learn more about the world of art and artists and how it impacts other disciplines.

On February 26, from 7-9 p.m., you can learn from landscape designer Christina Chrobokowa, of Dragonfly Designs LLC, on how to train your eye to use environmental design principles that can turn a backyard into a healthy, sound landscape in harmony with nature. Lectures are free for Visual Arts Center members, and $5 for non-members.
