| Description | From opening day on Friday, November 5 until its closing on Sunday, November 28, movies are celebrated in this Film-Fun Groovy Movies exhibit. Featured artists' work was influenced by the movies--from American Film Institute classics to cult films like “Abbott & Costello Meets Frankenstein," “Barbarella" to “Yellow Submarine” and “Zorba the Greek”. This is a curated exhibit showcasing artwork by local artists interpreting the movies and presented in partnership with the Alexandria Film Festival. Reserve tickets for a half-hour viewing on opening day. Although tickets are not required, ticket holders will have priority entry.
The exhibit also features a special display of John W. Hiller’s artwork. Proceeds support the new John W. Hiller Photography and Film Scholarship for high school students for photography or film excellence. John W. Hiller (1935-2020) was a longtime Del Ray Artisans member, cinematographer, producer, and an Oscar and Emmy winner.
