Free Evening Tour & Film Screening

Ketchum, ID — The Sun Valley Center for the Arts will be screening a thought-provoking film about teens and money and then offering a guided tour of its exhibition Awkward Stage: Adolescence and Identity on Thursday, November 17.

Both the film and tour are free and refreshments will be served. Come at 5 pm for the film, Lauren Greenfield’s kids + money, and stay for the tour at 5:30 pm.

In this 32-minute documentary, award-winning photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield has an honest conversation with teens in Los Angeles about money. The subjects come from varied income levels, but all feel the pressures of consumerism—whether they embrace or fight it. The film was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and winner of several awards. It has been featured on HBO and at museums and film festivals all over the world, where critics have called it “frank,” “disturbing,” “horrifying,” “smart” and “funny.”

Greenfield’s photos are on display in the Awkward Stage exhibition, a multidisciplinary project on adolescence and identity that includes photos, paintings and installation art from local and nationally known contemporary artists. After the film, around 5:30 pm, The Center’s docents and curators will walk visitors through the exhibitions and discuss the work on view in depth.

No reservations are necessary—just drop in.
