ART21 is a nonprofit contemporary art organization dedicated to introducing broad public audiences to today’s visual artists—stimulating critical reflection as well as conversation through the production of films, publications, digital resources, and educational programs.
ART21 programs inspire creative thinking and educate: a new generation about contemporary art and art making; teachers about how to engage students with the art of their time; the public at large about the life of the creative mind. Over the past decade, ART21 has established itself as the preeminent chronicler of contemporary art and artists through its peabody award-winning, PBS-broadcast television series, ART21 "art in the twenty-first century".
