Visit the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana for two featured exhibitions, Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection and Cut! Costume and the Cinema. The Albright collection consists of pins that Secretary Albright, America's Ambassador to the United Nations, and the first woman U.S. Secretary of State, wore before, during, and after becoming a diplomat. Albright discovered the power of jewelry to convey a foreign policy message and the brooches soon became her diplomatic signature; their stories and messages reflecting her sense of humor and humanity.

Create a pastel portrait taking inspiration from the profiles, palettes and compositions of works on view in the Figures section of Behold, America!. This workshop focuses on observing positive and negative shape relationships in selected subjects and begins with a tour of the exhibition.

The Second Saturday Workshop Series is an adult program that explores exhibitions and installations at the Museum. Each begins with a tour of the related exhibition, followed by the fine art workshop. 

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is the first major film to be shot entirely on location in the African country of Botswana. Based on the international best-selling novels by Alexander McCall-Smith and produced by the late Anthony Minghella, this HBO film series follows the story of the brave heroine Precious Ramotswe as she traverses the landscape of her country, solving the mysteries of her people, while offering a humorous and energetic view of contemporary African life. 

Explore the art element of texture as you create collagraph prints.  Artfully arrange everyday objects and materials to create a textured surface from which to "pull a print".  Learn about new artistic processes under the guidance of our experienced Museum Educators.  Each Sunday inThe Studio we'll explore a new art-making activity inspired by paintings, sculptures, and drawings on view at The Museum.
