The Montrose Center for Arts (MCA) is proud to announce the first theater screening on the Western Slope of a film the critics call “extremely powerful” and that “illuminates the magic and brilliance of Georgia O‘Keeffe and her art.”
Narrated by Hugh Dancy and featuring Claire Danes as the voice of O’Keeffe, Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness of Light follows the extraordinary life and lasting influence of an artist who reshaped the American art landscape.
The premier screening will take place at Fox Cinema Center, 27 S. Cascade Ave., Montrose. General Admission tickets are $20 for each screening, and VIP tickets are $30. VIP tickets are available only in limited quantities for the 7 p.m. screening. VIP tickets include a gallery reception at MCA from 5:30-6:30pm with appetizers and O’Keeffe-inspired cocktails, as well as VIP seating in the theater.
The film dives deeply into O’Keeffe’s unique life and will resonate with art appreciators and artists alike. It will also appeal to everyone who loves the beauty of the desert southwest and who lives on the Western Slope. O’Keeffe spent over 37 years on her ranch in New Mexico and fell in love with the surrounding mountains, which she painted over and over again in all their moods and glory.
Tickets can only be purchased at www.montrosecenterforarts.com. This event is a fundraiser for MCA. The film length is 1 hour and 58 minutes.
