Join us for the film screening of Art for Everybody and a conversation with filmmakers Miranda Yousef and Tim Rummel. We’re thrilled to welcome Yousef back to the Cambridge area; she not only grew up in Boston but she also graduated from Harvard. The conversation will be moderated by Mike Shum, award-winning documentary filmmaker and current fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.


You’ve seen his cozy cottages, idyllic gardens, and welcoming village streets on everything from canvas to commemorative plates. Both celebrated and disparaged for his kitschy signature settings, the “Painter of Light” Thomas Kinkade rocketed to popularity in the 1990s by marketing himself to American evangelicals and pitting himself against the elite art establishment.


Yet beneath the pristine public persona were demons that would drive him to alcoholism, scandal, and death from an overdose in 2012. After his passing, Kinkade’s daughters uncovered a trove of unseen, unexpectedly dark paintings, a discovery that launched an investigation into their father’s true personality.
