An Ever Green Evening
Evergreen Museum & Library — bedecked with festive
splendor including trees designed by some
of Baltimore's leading artisans, designers and architects

will be open, and a festooned period sleigh will serve as
the perfect backdrop for visitors'
photographic memories. (Don't forget your camera.) Also on
tap: the opening of an exhibition of
student work titled 'Evergreen as Muse,' the culmination of
the fall course Camera Arts:
