    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.

This is a global program—and the times noted are EDT (New York time) and GMT.

On Friday, June 5th, Dr. Jill’s featured program will be Trailblazing Women in Art  – In this program, we will look at women artists throughout time who have both survived and succeeded in male-dominated art worlds. How did a woman in the 10th century become an artist? Which women developed entirely new movements in art? Who are the most influential women artists today—and why? These questions and other issues will be explored as we take a brief look at the history of women artists over time. We’ll “visit” with a broad range of artists including such women as Artemisia Gentileschi, Berthe Morisot, Georgia O’Keeffe, Augusta Savage, Frida Kahlo, Elizabeth Murray, and many others. We’ll glimpse at the evolution of their art and discover their impact on the visual arts, as a whole.

The date for this event is Friday, 5 June -3:00pm – 4:00pm EDT (New York Time), 19:00 – 20:00 (7:00pm – 8:00pm ) GMT
