Frida Screening at Kimball’s

Recently I spoke with Charlie Snyder, the Fine Art Center’s newest Director of Public Relations, at a PRSA event where we both presented case studies on blogging and museums/galleries. I believe that Charlie has now given me three paper copies of PR related to their upcoming Frida screening in addition to two emails. I think it’s high-time I give them a little plug.

To celebrate Kahlo’s 100th birthday – she was born on July 6, 1907 – the FAC has teamed with Kimball’s Twin Peak Theater in downtown Colorado Springs, to show the 2002 Miramax Films movie, Frida, starring Salma Hayek, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. The movie earned six nominations, winning in makeup and score. The movie will be shown on Sunday, July 1, with a reception and again on Tuesday, July 3, with a lecture on Frida’s artwork by Tariana Navas-Nieves, FAC Curator of Hispanic Art.
