On Thursday, July 24, over 100 art houses and independent movie theaters across the country will participate in Art House Theater Day (AHTD) a celebration of the cinemas that present programming that provokes, challenges, entertains, and inspires.

Each location will be offering special AHTD swag, and don’t forget to pick up an AHTD punch card at any location: if you visit all three cinemas on AHTD and fill your punch card, you’ll get a special AHTD prize at your final stop!
