Season 4 of Art in the Twenty-First Century, a contemporary art series on PBS that we also screened at the Frist Center several months ago, has won a George Foster Peabody Award — the premiere international prize in electronic media — in the 67th Annual Peabody Awards Competition.
The Art:21 series was recognized for providing “a unique forum for the display, analysis and appreciation of myriad forms of contemporary visual art” by the University of Georgia’s Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, which has administered the Peabody Award program since its inception in 1940.
