Two very different women artists fill the art gallery at South Puget Sound Community College with images of many more women — plus a couple of boats and families and urban life.

I’m wrestling with how to describe The Christmas Revels, which is usually a good sign. I like art that can’t be easily filed. Part live theater, part cultural showcase, part seasonal celebration, part music and madness, and part dance-a-thon, this year’s Christmas Revels will take onlookers on a journey to
