The Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus will open its fall film season to members first with a preview event on Aug. 22, pairing curator remarks with a post-talk screening in the Film/Video Theater. The program, titled 'Members’ First Look: Film Season Preview,' is scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to noon and is free for members with RSVP.
According to the Wexner Center’s event listing, the session is designed as an intimate, members-only look at what the center has planned for the fall. Curators will share highlights from the upcoming lineup, offer insight into the artists and ideas shaping the season, and open the floor for conversation and questions. The center describes the gathering as a chance for members to hear directly from the film team behind the selections and learn what to watch for in the months ahead.
The event also includes light refreshments and an exclusive screening after the presentation. The Wexner Center says members will stay for a screening of a short film by Lynne Sachs honoring filmmaker Barbara Hammer. The listing notes that the screening reflects several themes and programs that will appear in the upcoming season. No further details on the specific season lineup were included in the source material.
Membership is central to access for the event. The Wexner Center’s invitation says the preview is reserved for Wex members, though it also notes that nonmembers can join to participate. RSVP is requested through Patrick Bradford at pbradford@wexarts.org. The center’s membership page lists benefits that include special member pricing for films and performances, free parking for gallery visits and Wex events, invitations to members-only events, and advance ticket sales to select programs.
The preview takes place at the Wexner Center’s Film/Video Theater, part of the center’s film and media programming. The institution’s website places the event within its broader Film/Video category alongside screenings, series and special events. The center is based at The Ohio State University at 1871 N High Street in Columbus.
The Wexner Center’s event page also includes accessibility information for attendees who may require accommodations, directing questions to accessibility@wexarts.org or (614) 688-3890. In the same listing, the center identifies support for film programs from the Rohauer Collection Foundation and notes additional program support from the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Ohio Arts Council, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, CampusParc, The Columbus Foundation, The Ohio State University, and the Wexner Center Foundation Board.
