Peoria Museum launches Giant Screen Theater Film Society
Cathie Neumiller, PRM VP Marketing and Communications
PEORIA, Ill. – A new film club focused on the unique experience of watching movies at Peoria Riverfront Museum’s five-by-seven story Giant Screen Theater makes its debut along with the return of “Marc Eliot’s Art of Film,” a weekly Friday night screening and analysis of top-ranked classic movies.
Anyone can join the museum’s Giant Screen Theater Film Society, which pulls together movie events from Hollywood premieres and classics to family fun to educational documentaries and filmmaking festivals. Museum members enjoy extra perks including discounted tickets and a chance to choose movies for the Thursday night “Community Pix” series.
PEORIA The Peoria Riverfront Museum is reopening Saturday with a series of homegrown exhibits of international caliber.
The museum will be showcasing its own collection, which includes works by world-renowned artists. It will also be opening the doors on a new permanent exhibit by Peoria’s own famous artist, Preston Jackson, and there will be never-before-seen photographs from the early career of another famous Peorian, comedian Richard Pryor.
The pandemic has brought a lot of uncertainty to museums everywhere. When the Peoria Riverfront Museum was closed by order of the governor on Nov. 18 for the second time in 2020, no one knew when it would be able to reopen. It didn’t make fiscal sense to bring in exhibits people might never get to see, said John Morris, president and CEO of the museum.
