Coming Soon: Art21 Presents a Fall Special on PBS
|
After five seasons of the series Art in the Twenty-First Century, Art21 will return to PBS this Fall to premiere its first film for national television broadcast produced outside of the biennial series. Premiering October 21 on PBS, this hour-long film provides an in-depth look at the work of a single artist. Which artist? We're not saying just yet!
The film will be announced next week, and will be accompanied by a regular stream of new and exclusive content produced to complement the film.
Sign up for our Special Announcements emails or join us on Facebook and Twitter and be among the first to know which artist will be featured in this special new project.

Art21 Educators: Summer Institute Recap
|
The second year of Art21 Educators is off and running! From July 7th through July 14th, Art21 hosted the second annual summer institute, kicking off what promises to be an exciting year. The institute combines workshops, discussion forums, and conversations with artists (including Oliver Herring, Ursula Von Rydingsvard, and Allan McCollum), with opportunities to see and talk about Art21 films and art on exhibit around the city. Returning to classrooms around the country this fall, the 15 participating teachers will spend the academic year working with Art21 to integrate contemporary artists and multi-media resources into their curriculum.
We look forward to sharing updates along the way. Joe Fusaro's blog column, Teaching With Contemporary Art, will relay news from the program throughout the year. In addition, stay tuned for a series of case studies presenting the work of our first year Art21 Educators.
