Art21 has announced its spring 2026 programming slate, featuring new documentary premieres, film screenings, and artist talks spotlighting figures like Tomás Saraceno, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, and Camille Henrot. The season also includes the premiere of the second episode of the twelfth season of its flagship series, *Art in the Twenty-First Century*, titled "Realms of the Real," which will be freely accessible online and on PBS.

The expanded programming, which includes releasing archival material, reflects the organization's ongoing mission to democratize access to artists' ideas and processes, using new media to help audiences navigate complex contemporary themes through the lens of artistic practice.
