RI Artist Programming on RIPBS
I am happy to announce that the Networks 2008 Videos will begin
airing on Rhode Island PBS affiliates starting Thursday, November 6th
at 8:30pm. Please make a note of this and take the time to support
this program by watching, and telling all of your friends to do the
same. This is a great way to celebrate our community of incredible
artists.
The videos, 15 pieces in all, are being compiled into 30 minute
segments. The first sampling will be artists: Walter Feldman,
Timothy Philbrick, and Toots Zynsky.
NetWorks 2008 is an exhibition platform curated by Dr. Joseph Chazan
& Umberto Crenca, of AS220, featuring the work of selected
contemporary RI visual artists.
The NetWorks exhibition is currently open at The Newport Art Museum,
Newport, RI, http://www.newportartmuseum.org/ and runs until January 2009. This exhibit highlights the work & achievement of these
diverse and influential RI artists. Please attend the opening
reception for the artists on Friday, November 21. The exhibition
catalog produced by Design Providence will be available then as well.
This unique project brings together an unprecedented and diverse
range of collaborating art institutions to celebrate the rich
creative energy of Rhode Island.
