A series of six international films will be screened at the Urban
Institute for Contemporary Arts, 41 Sheldon SE, Grand Rapids, on
various Sundays in January through April - see complete listing below.
Show time begins at 2:30 p.m. with a short film by local talent,
followed by the feature film, a 20-minute panel discussion and
refreshments. Admission is free.
Under the theme "The Muses," each of the 2010 series'
films reflects some aspect of the process by which people of various
origins and cultures find or explore one of the arts. Coordinated by
educators from local universities and members of the community, the
series' mission is to promote cultural diversity and awareness for the
benefit of students and members of the community.
