Art21 Screening @ the Rowayton Library, July 8 @ Noon

Over the past decade, Art21 has established itself as the preeminent chronicler of contemporary art and artists through its Peabody Award-winning biennial television series, "Art in the Twenty-First Century." The nonprofit organization has used the power of digital media to introduce millions of people of all ages to contemporary art and artists and has created a new paradigm for teaching and learning about the creative process.  Join us at the Rowayton Library on Monday, July 8 at Noon for a "brown bag" lunch, refreshments, a movie, craft and discussion... for adults interested in Art.  Co-Sponsored by the Rowayton Arts Center.  Art21 Film - Time:  How do artists evoke and transform time in their work? Can a work of contemporary art be timeless? How does contemporary art relate to art of the ancient past, to nature, and to the rhythms of the life? The "Art in the Twenty-First Century" documentary “Time” explores these questions through the work of Charles Atlas, Martin Puryear, Paul Pfeiffer, Vija Celmins, and Tim Hawkinson.   

Leading the discussion following the screening will be RAC artists Tom Kretsch and Lynn Stephens Massey.  No reservations necessary.
