Films at PhxArt: Do the Right Thing
August 12, 2026 | 6PM
Free for Members | $10 for Non-Members
Set on one block of Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy Do or Die neighborhood, at the height of summer, this 1989 masterpiece by Spike Lee confirmed him as a writer and filmmaker of peerless vision and passionate social engagement. Over the course of a single day, the easygoing interactions of a cast of unforgettable characters—Da Mayor, Mother Sister, Mister Señor Love Daddy, Tina, Sweet Dick Willie, Buggin Out, Radio Raheem, Sal, Pino, Vito, and Lee’s Mookie among them—give way to heated confrontations as tensions rise along racial fault lines, ultimately exploding into violence.
Punctuated by the anthemic refrain of Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power,” Do the Right Thing is a landmark in American cinema, as politically and emotionally charged and as relevant now as when it first hit the big screen.
National Theatre Live: The Playboy of the Western World
August 23, 2026 | 1PM

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…

About the Artists
Alice Leora Briggs (Tucson, AZ) explores narratives of life on la frontera—the U.S.–Mexico borderlands—through meticulously rendered artworks. Featured in more than 50 solo exhibitions, her work is housed in over 35 public collections, including Phoenix Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Library of Congress. Her notable publications include Dreamland: The Way Out of Juárez (2010), an illuminated manuscript created with writer Charles Bowden, and Abecedario de Juárez: An Illustrated Lexicon (2022) with photojournalist Julián Cardona.
Jan Talmadge Davids (Tucson, AZ) works in clay and mixed media to explore the landscapes of her childhood, local ecologies, and ideas of place-making. Through thoughtful installation and material sensitivity, she invites viewers to engage with themes of fragility and vulnerability. Davids earned her MFA from the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University. Her work has been exhibited at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum (Long Beach, CA), Tempe Center for the Arts, eye lounge, and the Tucson Museum of Art.
Christopher Ignacio (Phoenix, AZ) is a Filipino-American puppeteer, producer, educator, and interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of voice, technology, and identity. He holds an MFA in Theatre/Interdisciplinary Digital Media from Arizona State University, where he teaches motion capture and 3D animation, and serves as Creative Producer for the T. Denny Sanford Harmony Institute. Ignacio is a recipient of grants and fellowships from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, Queens Council on the Arts, and Culture Push, and is dedicated to creating works that invite participation outside traditional arts spaces.
Shaunté Glover (Phoenix, AZ) is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice spans photography, film, printmaking, and sculpture. A graduate of Arizona State University, Glover is recognized for her compelling exploration of identity and representation. At the heart of her practice lies a deep commitment to amplifying marginalized voices, particularly those of Black women, using contemporary art as a catalyst for visibility, dialogue, and community empowerment.
The Arizona Artist Awards are made possible by the Scult Family; Sally and Richard Lehmann; and the Cohn Fund for Arts and Culture, a founding gift of the Phoenix Art Museum Education and Engagement Excellence Fund.
