SUnknownAlternative Visions

Tue, Jul 26, 2005

In this edition of Arts Alive, the focus is on local artists who either work in an unusual medium or have a slightly skewed perspective that comes out in their art. ViewFinder finds out about artists who make enormous metal sculptures for the State Fair, uses fabric to create incredibly intricate murals, and the story of a painter who emigrated from China. Plus we'll profile quirky artists in Sacramento, including a local filmmaker, a fashion designer, and a maker of art cars.

SUnknownHealing Arts

Tue, Mar 07, 2006

It can be beautiful, expressive, insightful and symbolic, but for many artists and organizations art means something more...it can heal. In this episode the term "healing arts" takes on several meanings. It can strengthen memories from the past, help build bridges of understanding, communicate messages of hope, and maybe most importantly, it can strengthen the social bonds that make our community a place worth living. In Arts Alive: Healing Arts we'll see the photographic work of the Heart Gallery, an organization that displays heart-warming photos of children awaiting adoption. We'll visit Very Special Arts, a group whose mission is to provide educational opportunities in the arts for kids of all abilities. And, we'll see how art is strengthening memory and communication skills in patients with Alzheimer's, plus much more.

Tue, May 23, 2006

It's what makes a celebration and enriches education. It inspires us, and brings our community together. Of course, we're talking about music! It enriches our lives in so many ways, it's hard to imagine a world without it. Fortunately, we don't have to, for the Sacramento region is a hotbed of musical talent in every genre imaginable. So join us as we take a tour of the Valley's musical landscape, exploring everything from the third oldest orchestra in California to an improvisational group that has played over 400 shows but never with the same line-up twice! So whatever your tastes, this edition of Arts Alive is sure to be music to your ears!

Kids say it all the time,"there's nothing to do!" In the arts there are plenty of things going on in Sacramento. Come along as we show you several ideas for keeping kids enlightened and entertained this summer: marching in a high-stepping band, ride along with the Crocker Museum's Art Ark, and volunteering for community service.
