Rubin Center educational programming reflects our mission of engaging the border community in adventuresome
thinking and dialogue. With each exhibition we host a roster of visiting artists and curators from across the country and
around the world, offering our geographically isolated community a direct experience with contemporary artists and
curators of international recognition and importance. Visiting artists create site-specific installations, give public
lectures, and conduct workshops for area high school and university students. Educational programming at the Rubin
Center reaches a wide group of students at the high school and university level, and employs a diverse range of
techniques to encourage critical thinking and broaden cultural, social and political dialogue. We have broad community
participation in our public events and have instituted a number of cross-border initiatives, building upon our unique
border location and strengthening our commitment to making contemporary art accessible to a diverse audience.
