CET is in homes and classrooms across the region. Come on down to our home as we celebrate you and salute Dr. O'dell Owens! Join us as we celebrate the many unique and original aspects and qualities of CET and PBS with an outdoor experience that utilizes our building as the canvas. Our outdoor gathering will amplify the idea of CET is ME by animating the building exterior’s Singing Mural with light, color and projection—perfectly engineered by Brave Berlin—connecting to the community, the neighborhood and CET like never before.
