    This will be a great show !!!!

    NCMA and PineCone present: An Evening with Patty Griffin and Special Guest Buddy Miller – Wednesday, June 2, 8 pm. Tickets: $10-$30

  • Kevin Said:

    I’ve already seen most of these movies, but good news is so many are worth seeing again.

    Definitely gotta catch Lebowski.

  • Rob E. Said:

    I was just on their site looking for the line-up the other day, but it wasn’t there yet. Thanks for keeping us in the know.

  • Andy Said:

    Why are they wasting tax dollars to show movies you could rent at redbox six months ago? Shouldn’t they be showing…I don’t know, Artsy movies or at least indy films or something.

    This is an art museum, not the $2 theater on Blue Ridge.

  • Subway Scoundrel Said:

    Not sure how they are wasting tax payer $$ when they can go to Redbox and rent it for a $1 and then charge 200 people a $1 to get in just so they can sit outside. Show me a mutual fund that will turn a $ over that fast? Sounds like government cost savings to me !!!!

  • Andy Said:

    Point well taken, Subway. What I was really questioning was why the museum was showing so many recent, commercially mainstream films? As THE art museum for the state, shouldn’t they show films and documentaries, et. al that provoke thoughts and questions about ART?

  • Abby Said:

    I really can’t believe you have to do all the work for them. They should have their own GCal feed of this stuff. Just said so on their FB page.

  • Alesia Said:

    Andy-Just wanted to let you know that our fall and winter film series both feature classic cinema, documentaries, and art house films. Over the years we’ve found that award-winning and blockbuster films are a better fit for outdoor movies.
    -Alesia with the NCMA

  • Jen Said:

    I’m excited to see all of those movies – yes, you might be able to rent them at RedBox, but they’ll probably bring some people to the museum who might not go without them. And once they go there once, it’s a lot more likely that they’ll come back to see the exhibits.
