BRENDA LAB: Green Star Quilt by Wally Dion

This BRENDA LAB series is a Portland Art Museum partnership with BRENDA ARTS, supported by Oregon Community Foundation. Artist and educator Spencer Garland created BRENDA ARTS as an interdisciplinary arts program focused on media literacy for BIPOC youth. This year's partnership video series with the Museum will introduce kids to art in the Museum's collection through a Black history and Afrofuturist lens.
