DOWNTOWN 81 - A FILM EVENT - SEPTEMBER 29

DOWNTOWN 81
Film Screening and After-Party
hosted by the Junior Circle to benefit Guild Hall's Capital Campaign

Saturday, September 29th, 6 p.m.

JC members will host this exciting, fund-raising event in September to contribute towards Guild Hall’s Capital Campaign to complete its restoration project. We will have the pleasure of the company of Maripol and Glenn O’Brien, co-producers of Downtown 81, who will present their film in the Boots Lamb Education Center at Guild Hall. Our guest of honor for the evening will be Billy Sullivan, whose exhibition is on view in the galleries through October 21.

Downtown 81 stars Jean-Michel Basquiat along with a slew of other amazing personalities of the 80s, depicting a slice of life from one of the most exciting periods in American culture, with the emergence of new wave music, new painting, hip hop and graffiti.
