    “Sister Wendy Beckett has transformed public appreciation of art through her astonishing knowledge, insight and passion for painting and painters.” This set includes Sister Wendy's Story of Painting, Sister Wendy's Odyssey, and Sister Wendy's Grand Tour. Simultaneously delightful and scholarly--this is a must have for anyone interested in art history.

  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists
    The Impressionists
    A dramatization of the Impressionist movement as seen through the eyes of Claude Monet. Highly entertaining and informative.
  • The Impressionists: The Other French Revolution
    The Impressionists: The Other French Revolution

(Photo: Wide World Photos, Inc. via the Library of Congress) (click photo for larger image)Women art professionals have been referred to as “the bargains of our time” and the latest statistics bear out that claim—alas. And yet, there is a history of female art professionals that reveals the enormous contributions—and significant changes—that female art professionals have made possible. 

Please join us THIS Saturday (March 9, 2019) at 4:30 PM, at the Bethany Arts Community. Jill Kiefer will deliver a program on this topic, and will discuss women art historians, art critics, dealers, collectors, curators, art educators, and contemporary artists who have and continue to make a difference for women working in the arts. We’ll also take a look at some of the most famous muses in the history of art, who not only inspired masterworks—but artists’ careers. Admission is FREE!
