About The Event
Join us for the opening reception of the Wide Horizons Student Exhibition! ✨
WIDE HORIZONS: PLACE-BASED EDUCATION AND THE FUTURE OF THE GULF is a multi-year program of art, science, and action for 7th and 8th grade students on the Gulf Coast. Wide Horizons is inspired by the art, writings, and philosophies of Walter Inglis Anderson (1903-1965), the Gulf’s cultural patron saint and a believer in the paradigm-shifting potentials of experiential education and exploration. Anderson’s legacy provides a blueprint for connecting ecological and societal cause-and-effect with the agency of the individual to direct civic and environmental action.
Students engaged in experiential learning opportunities through field trips and artmaking, exploring different topics highlighting coastal and environmental issues.
This student exhibition is a culmination of the artworks created from these field experiences and curated by Antonia Zennaro and student curators from summer camp. 🎨✨
