A Monroe art museum and international art fraternity will serve as co-hosts for screenings of Public Broadcasting Service art-themed documentaries..

The public screenings, which all begin at 6:30 p.m. in Room 100 of Stubbs Hall, are as follows:
• Friday, March 27, "Ecology", explores how a person’s understanding of the natural world is deeply imbedded within a cultural context.
• Friday, April 24, "Paradox", explores how contemporary artists address contradiction, ambiguity and truth.
