A Contemporary Petting Zoo
Snort, baa, quack! Let your senses guide you as you meet real potbelly pigs, goats, and other mini creatures, then make your own animalistic art to take home. Inspired by Pet Sounds, artist Charles Long’s colorful interactive installation named for the 1966 Beach Boys album, on view now at Laguna Gloria.
