Student Exhibition Opening // "Forever Green" Girl Scout Exhibition (12:00 - noon - 5:00 pm)

The Birmingham Museum of Art is proud to sponsor an exhibition highlighting the “green” artwork of the Girl Scouts of North Central Alabama. This exhibition coincides with the Girl Scouts’ 100th anniversary celebration in 2012. To mark this milestone and to honor founder Juliette Gordon Low, who loved nature and the outdoors, Girl Scouts of all ages are engaging in Girl Scouts Forever Green. This nationwide, take-action project offers a meaningful leadership experience that makes a huge positive impact on the environment and increases the visibility of Girl Scouts in every community. The Girl Scouts in our area are working to create “green” artworks using recycled materials to create their masterpieces.
