On Wednesday, August 20th, 2025 Wayfarer Theaters in Partnership with The Art Center of Highland Park invites you for a special presentation of the Award-winning exhibition on-screen series. This unique film series takes you on an incredible journey exploring the works of Michelangelo. Following the exhibition's opening night screening on Weds. August 20th @ 7 pm, The Art Center's own James Lynch will be on hand to discuss the Artist and the film. Encore Performances will take place at 3 pm on Saturday and Sunday, August 23th and 24th. Tickets are $15 for Adults, $12 for Seniors and $10 for TAC members. The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today. Spanning his 88 years, Michelangelo: Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate the 550th anniversary of this iconic artist’s birth.PT1H30M2025-08-20
