Free screening
The Friends of the Visual Arts and the SFA School of Art will present a free screening of “Roadsworth: Crossing the Line” at 7 p.m. Friday, July 3 at the Cole Art Center on Main Street. The 72-minute documentary focuses on renowned street artist Roadsworth (aka Peter Gibson) who spent three years making his “mark” on Montreal streets, overlaying city markings with home-made stencils and spray paint. Through his creative expressions, a crosswalk became a giant boot print, traffic dividers transformed into zippers and electrical plugs filled parking spaces. Director Alan Kohl examines the artist and his work that spawned a debate over art and authority and who owns public space. Parental guidance is suggested. For more information, call 468-1131.
