A Sept. 7 preview and reception for the brothers in the arboretum's Reedy Gallery and MacMillan Auditorium will inaugurate the exhibit.

The reception is open to the public. Cost is $30 for Arboretum members and $40 for nonmembers and includes hors d'oeuvres, meet-the-artists opportunities, a champagne toast and the premiere of the documentary film, "Million Dollar Duck."
