A part of the 2020 Bray Benefit Auction's Experiences, this virtual studio visit and conversation with Cristina Córdova is reserved for participants who bid during the auction event. Bidding participants had the opportunity to talk with Cristina about her studio experience, received a behind-the-scenes look at current work, and now have access to the event recording. Join us at next year's Bray Benefit Auction for other unique experience opportunities!
