The documentary series about art and artists, “Exhibition on Screen,” will debut at The Park Theatre, 19 Main St. in Jaffrey, Wednesday, May 10, at 1:30 p.m. with “Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition.”
The eight-part series will present one new documentary film each month through December on the second Wednesday of each month at 1:30 p.m. The series includes films that offer a cinematic immersion into the world’s best-loved art, accompanied by insights from leading historians and critics.
Since launching in 2011, “Exhibition on Screen” has released 26 films that have been shown in over 66 countries, and more than 2 million seats have been sold.
