This February, DelArt Cinema invites you to honor Black History Month with a series of Saturday screenings that highlight the power of love in all its forms. From romantic love to the bonds of friendship and the complexities of family, these films showcase one of the most significant eras of Black filmmaking—a time when storytellers broke barriers to share authentic perspectives and narratives.
DelArt Cinema’s schedule offers something for everyone. Screenings take place every Saturday at 1:30 pm, with a special perk for members: free screenings on the last Saturday of the month. Families can join in the fun, too, with family-friendly films shown on the second Sunday of each month at 1:30 pm.
As you settle into Delaware Art Museum's cozy 160-seat auditorium, enjoy refreshments from Kaffeina Café or grab a drink from the downstairs bar, offering a selection of beer and wine.
Whether you’re a film buff, a history enthusiast, or just looking for a heartfelt outing, DelArt Cinema’s Black History Month series promises to entertain, inspire, and celebrate the enduring power of love through the lens of Black cinema.
