So it is at this afternoon’s free summer solstice Arts Festival, which somehow fits several group art shows, a slate of music sessions and performance art pieces, hands-on ceramics and mural painting, screenings, and food into just five hours.

Highlights include the group show about appetites and afflictions, “Let Me Eat Cake,” West African drumming, toy theater from Wild Art Group, indoor and outdoor sculpture in the thoughtful group show Efimera, video art presented by Los Angeles Nomadic Division, chalk drawing, and modern dance. Good thing it’s a big roof.
