ART DECO AT THE ARK is a special series of events showcasing classic movies from the 20's and 30's, and more modern films set during the period.

artdecofilmseries

More than a show at today's multiplex, each event offers a true 1930's movie palace experience. Each evening transports you back in time through a full program of cartoons, newsreels, shorts, serial cliff hanger, coming attractions PLUS the feature film of the evening.

The 20's & 30's were the first time when the movies were a force in shaping the design, style and popular culture of an era. The film series is fun way to increase public awareness of the art deco design aesthetic that molded many aspects of life during this not so distant period in American history.

The series is a fundraiser to benefit the ongoing effort to preserve & revitalize Newport's unique art deco heritage.
