There is so much to stimulate the eye and mind this week in museums and galleries that it is a pleasure to see. I spent far too much time the wonder of notebook sketches from the 70s by graffiti artists in white columns, while our writers sought awesome artists, past and present, such as Nancy Elizabeth Prophet and Claudia Alarcón.

And if you go to the center to see art, stop in Andrew Kreps Gallery to watch Michael E. Smith‘s Solo exhibition. It ends this weekend. –Natalie Haddad, Reviews Editor
