Art:21 on campus

Art: 21 is a PBS series of themed art documentaries.
The presentation of this series is a collaboration between Masur Museum of Art and the Delta Alpha chapter of Kappa Pi, International Honorary Art Fraternity.

“Art:21–Art in the Twenty-First Century” is the only series on television to focus exclusively on contemporary visual art and artists in the United States, and it uses the medium of television to provide an experience of the visual arts that goes far beyond a gallery visit. Fascinating and intimate footage allows the viewer to observe the artists at work, watch their process as they transform inspiration into art, and hear their thoughts as they grapple with the physical and visual challenges of achieving their artistic visions.

These screenings are free and open to the public. 

Each screening will be followed by discussion.
