Bright Young Minds offers an opportunity for kids ages 8 to 12 to engage with art through an interactive drawing/painting session based on the exhibit Richard Misrach and Kate Orff: Petrochemical America Project Room.

Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) offers an educational curriculum and teaching method which enables students to develop aesthetic and language literacy and critical thinking skills while giving teachers a powerful new technique they can utilize throughout their careers.

***********************************************************

Every autumn, the Brower Center presents the Art/Act Exhibition, an award presented to an artist who has demonstrated extraordinary achievement at the convergence of art and activism. This year, we honor celebrated photographer Richard Misrach. Based on the book Petrochemical America (Aperture 2012), the exhibit highlights the unique collaboration between Misrach and landscape architect Kate Orff/SCAPE. Presented in an open studio format, this project brings into focus the complex economic and ecological forces that have shaped the industrial landscapes of the Mississippi River's "Cancer Alley," mapping cycles of resource extraction and transformation from a local to a global scale.This exhibition is toured by Aperture Foundation.
