We've teamed up with Phoenix's newest independent theatre, FilmBar, to bring you a monthly film and mixer meetup on the last Monday of the month. We will be showing a variety of films that range from fine art to street art, architecture, industrial design, and, naturally, graphic design.

Tickets are only $5 (at the door). No advanced tickets will be sold. The FilmBar offers a number of libations and appetizers prior to the film showing. Get there before 7pm to take advantage of happy hour. The film plays at 8pm.

Film Synopsis:

THE UNIVERSE OF KEITH HARING is an intimate portrait of world-renowned artist Keith Haring whose mantra was that "Art is for everyone!" The film is a thorough and intimate exploration of the background and career of one of the most popular and significant artists of the 20th century.
