U.S. movie theaters to feature "Art & Architecture in Cinema" series

Fathom Events, in partnership with SpectiCast, presents the “Art & Architecture in Cinema” series in select U.S. cinemas from January through July 2016, Art Daily reports. The program will feature seven different titles (one each month) and bring the world’s greatest works of art, and their environs, to the big screen. Cinema guests can now enjoy unprecedented HD access into the lives of renowned artists, their art and the fabulous museums and galleries that are not only the custodians of such masterpieces, but works of art in their own right.

Tickets for “Art & Architecture in Cinema” are available for purchase beginning Friday, December 11 online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com, or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network. For a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

“This curated collection of acclaimed films will give audiences around the U.S. an intimate and informed experience with some of the world's leading artists and masterpieces," said Mark Rupp, President & Chief Operating Officer, SpectiCast. "It's our mission to bring the great artistic treasures of the world to audiences who may not have direct access. With the highest quality productions and unrivaled expert narration, this is as close to a museum experience as any culture lover could hope for."

“This series is particularly wonderful because it brings the art to the people. For some, they may not otherwise be able to experience these spectacular works and sights, but now they can get the same up-close and personal experience from their local cinema,” said Fathom Events Vice President of Programming Kymberli Frueh.
