This month, we're screening the film Big Eyes (2014), which follows artist Margaret Keane, her husband Walter Keane and her journey to get the recognition she deserves for her unique works of art.
Tickets are $5 or free with our Barrier-free ticket.
About the Film: This biographical drama film, based on true events, traces the tumultuous relationship of artist Margaret Keane and her second husband, Walter, who fraudulently takes credit for her original paintings of children with large, saucer-like eyes. Walter Keane coerces her to paint on demand for over a decade, while he enjoys the fame of his wife’s art. Not only must she fight this challenging relationship, which ends in divorce, but she also must fight a legal battle to reclaim her art rightfully.
