ENERGY MATTERS
Ever wondered about the most cost effective things you can do to cut your household energy use and save money?  Beginning Friday, January 2, CCDC's SPARK! program brings you a month long exhibit devoted to the importance of energy - what we use, where it comes from and what we can do to prepare ourselves for a widespread switch to clean and renewable sources. This interactive exhibit will address the many ways that individuals can begin to address their own carbon footprint and what resources and incentives are available to help them.  CCDC will host extended gallery hours on Friday, January 9 from 5-8 pm.

Coming in February |  Children at Play   Children of immigrants will make up 30% of the U.S. K-12 population in 2010 - up 25% from the 1970s.  For many of these children, linguistic and cultural isolation limits their ability to explore or engage dense urban neighborhoods. The result of a three-month traveling design studio, Children At Play presents development plans for immigrant communities in Minneapolis, Montreal, San Francisco, and Staten Island through the artwork and imagination of local children.  Photographs, videos and over 200 drawn interventions by children in these neighborhoods propose a kid's-eye approach to incorporating play, culture and experiences in nature within urban environments, with ideas ranging from downright practical to unpredictably abstract.
