Emerson College Alumnus and filmmaker Max Ildari is associate curator of Video Showcases in From the City to the World, a new 1800-square foot urban art exhibit at the New Art Center. The exhibit explores city life through visual art, video and creative writing.

Ildari says he was well prepared for his role, "My art history classes with Professor Ketner exposed me to new ways of looking at media and the possibilities a curator enjoys in presenting artwork. Now, I'm using what I learned to curate this city-wide video showcase."

The exhibit shows April 1 through May 10, 2013. An opening reception that is free and open to the public takes place Friday, April 5 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Gallery hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Saturday, 1:00 - 5:00 pm. Admission is free.
