Join us for a rare opportunity to compare, contrast, and enjoy the works of two exceptional artists. Text by art historian Alex Bacon accompanies. Alex Bacon writes, "Over…the 1950s, numerous artists working in different parts of the world arrived…at ways of activating perception. This global aesthetic orientation paralleled a period of unprecedented research into optics and the physiognomy of vision, accompanied by popular interest fed by the media. Carlos Cruz-Diez and Julian Stanczak are two such artists, Cruz-Diez based in Caracas and Paris, and Stanczak in the United States. Both artists sought, in their particular…ways, to materialize and actualize color." 713-529-1313

Scientists tell us that we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (vs. a 2010 baseline), and that 25 – 30% of all needed emissions reductions can come from individuals/households. 50% may seem like a very high hurdle. But, it translates to only a 10%/year reduction, starting now. And, you may have already made some lifestyle improvements since 2010 that reduced your emissions, so you could already be well on your way toward the 50% reduction goal. Participants in this individualized course will leave with a personal plan to achieve the 50% emissions reduction goal. 281-300-8212
