The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will screen “Milton Glaser: To Inform and Delight,” a documentary directed by Wendy Keys, on Tuesday, July 7, Wednesday, July 8, and Thursday, July 9, at 8 p.m. as part of its “Finest in World Cinema” series.

One of the most renowned figures in American graphic design, Milton Glaser is best known for co-founding New York Magazine and the groundbreaking “I Love NY” campaign that used the image of a heart to stand in for the word “Love.”

“Milton Glaser: To Inform and Delight” offers audiences an appreciation for this renowned artist, shedding light on his work in newspaper and magazine design, interior spaces, logos, brand identity, prints, drawings, posters and paintings.

Directed by first-time filmmaker Wendy Keys, the documentary captures everyday moments of Mr. Glaser’s personal life, capturing his warmth, humanity, intelligence and creativity.

Following the first screening on Tuesday night, Ms. Keys will appear on the PAC stage for an informal discussion with Andrew Botsford, associate editor of the Press News Group and host of the “Tuesday Night with the Movie Guy” series at the PAC.

Tickets for the event are $10 for adults, $7 for students and seniors, and $3 for PAC Film Society members.
