It Comes At Night The Hippodrome Theater [06/28/17]
Imagine the end of the world. Now imagine something worse. Award-winning filmmaker Trey Edward Shults follows his incredible debut feature KRISHA with “IT COMES AT NIGHT,” a horror film following a man (Joel Edgerton) who learns that the evil stalking his family home may be only a prelude to horrors that come from within. Secure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, the tenuous domestic order he has established with his wife and son is put to the ultimate test with the arrival of a desperate young family seeking refuge. Despite the best intentions of both families, paranoia and mistrust boil over as the horrors outside creep ever-closer, awakening something hidden and monstrous within him as he learns that the protection of his family comes at the cost of his soul.

New Collection ‘Art for Purpose’ The Hippodrome Theater [06/30/17]
Art for a Purpose is a one-of-a-kind gallery and a one-of-a-kind nonprofit — all rolled into one.Unlike traditional, commercial galleries, Art for a Purpose is a nonprofit. And unlike other non- profits, it exists to assist other charitable organizations, rather than serving one specific constituency or group.The process is simple: The gallery accepts art directly from donors, sells the pieces and distributes the proceeds to charities for their unrestricted use. Donors receive acknowledgments of their donations at the time of their gifts (useful for individual tax purposes), and they may recommend charities to benefit from the sales of their donated works. Any person may be a donor and any IRS-approved nonprofit may be a recipient of distributions.
