Screening Society

Screening Society welcomes local communities to gather and watch films about art together. By providing free access to documentary films about contemporary artists, Screening Society promotes conversation, inspires creative thinking, and broadens engagement with contemporary art. 

Through Screening Society, Art21 provides everything needed to host a public screening—at no cost. Hosts simply sign up online, receive access to the materials, and press play. 

Please join the Art21 Screening Society email list to receive the latest Screening Society updates.
