Growing Empowered Together (GET) is a new grassroots nonprofit in San Antonio with the mission of inspiring progressive Texas millennials, Americans born between 1982 and 2000, to want to vote and to volunteer in their communities. Like most other nonprofits, GET was born of a sense of urgent community need.

After earning her Ph.D. in geology, Lauren Browning worked for NASA as a geochemist and for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. But all the while, her heart desired a career in fine art. So in 2007, she made the decision to forego geology for full-time stone sculpting.

While people may struggle to see the artistic ideas and visions of others, it is the triumph of one local artist to share her vision of art and education with the blind and sight seeing communities.  The Color of Blind is an interactive art show by Trina Geurra Bacon and Katherine Brown.  The show brings together the senses of smell, touch and taste to offer the blind and seeing community a way in which to experience and understand color and art.
