“Art:21–Art in the Twenty-First Century” is a series that focuses exclusively on contemporary visual art and artists in the United States. 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. Art:21 takes viewers into the artists’ lives, unfiltered, for a rare encounter with the creative process in action and an exciting opportunity to hear what cutting-edge artists are thinking about as they work.

An interactive discussion will follow the screenings, using the educational tools provided by Art:21 that seeks to provoke critical thinking and problem solving, to present creative role models, to bridge diverse subject areas and locations, and to inspire new ways of teaching and learning through the study and appreciation of contemporary art, in the enhancement of visual literacy.
