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
