Come to the museum this Thursday, October 8 for two special events:

6:00 PM Special Screening of new episode of PBS series art:21
7:00 PM CMA Top 5 presentation by Curator for Contemporary Art Lisa Dent

We’re participating in ART:21 Access ’09, a celebration of contemporary art and Season 5 of Art:21 – Art in the 21st Century. We’ll present a special screening of an episode from the new season of the PBS television series about contemporary artists. The episode features artists Carrie Mae Weems and William Kentridge, both of whom are represented with artworks in the CMA collection.

The 60-minute episode will be followed by a presentation from CMA Associate Curator of Contemporary Art Lisa Dent. She will present the third program in the CMA Top 5 series. This one is, of course, about contemporary art in our permanent collection.
