Join us Friday, November 11 at 4:00pm for a special screening of Vanishing of the Bees, a compelling look at the economic, political and ecological impact of the disappearance of the honeybees. The film is a part of a new series called The Green Screen hosted in collaboration with Mrs. Mango & Company, CoalWar.com, and Brick & Mortar. We will be screening an environmental documentary every Sunday afternoon from 1:00pm - 4:00pm in conjunction with our newest exhibition, “Coal War”. 

Come for the film, short discussion, and stay for the art and opening night of “Coal War”.
