Events Calendar

Join Gallery X on Friday, July 17 for Cinema 169, a film screening series inspired by the visual art exhibitions on view at Gallery X. To coincide with the JESTERS & FOOLS exhibition we will be screening the 1973 folk horror, mystery THE WICKER MAN directed by Robin Hardy.

Reservations recommended, but not required. Doors at 6:30, the screening will begin at 7:00.

This screening is open to the public, donations are recommended, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Refreshments will be available to purchase inside Gallery X. 

Synopsis: After receiving an anonymous letter about a missing 12-year-old girl, devoutly Christian police sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) travels by seaplane to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But the islanders welcome neither his badge nor religious devotion, for Lord Summerisle (Christoper Lee) and his devoted followers worship only the pagan gods of old – and those gods demand a sacrifice. Howie fears for the missing girl’s life and follows every possible lead to find her – despite the islanders’ interference – before she becomes a human sacrificial lamb.
