About Exhibitions & Programs

The Brower Center’s continues in David Brower’s tradition by inspiring environmental action through beauty and art. In our Hazel Wolf Gallery, we feature the work of present-day artists working toward the same goals: creators of art that advocates for nature, biological and cultural diversity and environmental justice. Our core public facing programming includes the Art/Act exhibition series, which celebrates art and environmental activism through three main exhibitions per year. 

Our spring exhibition, Art/Act: Youth, showcases local youth artists from Berkeley, Skyline, and Richmond High Schools responding to an environmental theme. Our summer exhibition, Art/Act: Local, is a juried show highlighting emerging and mid-career artists, while our fall exhibition, Art/Act: Award, recognizes an established artist for their environmental advocacy every year. Over the years, our gallery has featured notable artists such as Maya Lin, Edward Burtynsky, and Richard Misrach. We proudly provide emerging and youth artists with the same museum-quality exhibitions that these celebrated artists enjoy.
