Photorealism coming to Canadian, Premiere Screening of Art:21 at Amarillo Museum of Art and more...
I just returned from an extremely pleasant visit to Canadian and the newly-opened Citadelle Art Foundation. The two-hour drive couldn't be more spectacular from Amarillo, in my humble opinion. First, the oh-so-flat horizon line with little to disrupt your view, then the land opening up with all of those hills and breaks... Can you tell I've got 'landscape' on the brain?
But back to the art... I'm happy to share that photorealism is coming to The Citadelle. Check out Executive Director Liz Seliger's clip here: http://www.youtube.com/art21onkacv In addition to permanent collection artworks displayed in the 8,000 square-foot mansion (formerly Canadian's First Baptist Church and then home to Dr. and Mrs. Malouf Abramam), the Citadelle brings in special exhibitions which are displayed in a newly-built Gallery on the museum's lush grounds. Super Real: The Different Angles of Photorealism opens September 24th and closes November 29th. The nationally-known artists - Gary Godbee, Dennis Wojkiewicz, Ellen Wagener and Scott Fraser - all approach photorealism from different angles (hence the title) but all have such a WOW-factor in their work, that I'm really looking forward to it. Fall Foliage Festival, anyone?
In other Art21 on KACV news, look forward to a guest blog this week from Rene' West (artist, Art Instructor at Amarillo College, and Texas Panhandle newcomer) who will share, among other things, her thoughts about the Amarillo Museum of Art and their Third Thursdays program. Speaking of which, at THIS Thursday's Third Thursday event (9/17), there will be some really great things going on. Artist Chuck Olson is back in town for a gallery talk on his exhibition, Chuck Olson: Visual Histories, an art activity inspired by Olson's show - mixed media maps - will be available for all ages, the band Gravy will perform and last but not least, the Panhandle's Premiere Screening Event for Art:21's newest season is happening at 7:30! The first full episode of Season 5, Compassion, will be shown featuring artists William Kentridge, Carrie Mae Weems and Doris Salcedo. Visit AMOA's website for more info about their Third Thursdays event: http://www.amarilloart.org/
Also coming up, look forward to guest blogs here from artist and Chair of Amarillo College's Visual Arts Department, Victoria Taylor-Gore, KACV Production Coordinator/Web Master Dale Robinson and video clips from chats with Jason Barrett at The 806 (coffee+lounge+cafe) about art they show, photographer Jim Jordan about his new works, and more! So, become a follower of our blog tell your friends to, too!

Welcome to Art21 on KACV's blog
We're so glad you're here!
What is Art21 on KACV all about, you might ask? Well, this project is a new experiment where KACV (the Texas Panhandle's PBS affiliate) is providing a platform for promoting, discussing and sharing contemporary art in the Texas Panhandle using the PBS program Art:21-Art of the Twenty-First Century- as a springboard. Thanks to a mini grant from Art:21, the project is allowing KACV to use social networking in new ways. By going this route, we hope to not only highlight and pose questions about what's going on in the Panhandle art-wise, but to empower YOU to share, discuss and promote your own work or work you're interested in. Sounds a bit nebulous? Sure. We're still trying to get a grasp on all of this ourselves, but we're definitely excited to give it a try and see what happens. Here's a little Q&A to hopefully spell a few things out.

Who is this project for? Whether you're an artist with Texas Panhandle connections, a classroom educator, college/university professor, art student, collector, museum or gallery professional, or simply someone interested in or curious about contemporary art and artists, we think you'll find topics here worth exploring and discussing.
How do I share my own content or thoughts? Post your own comments/feedback through the social networking discussion threads.

Who else will I be hearing from in this blog? In addition to project staff, you'll enjoy posts by guest bloggers who will share their own points of view about contemporary art in the Texas Panhandle as well as their responses to Art:21.
What is Art:21? Art:21 - Art of the Twenty-First Century - is an Emmy-nominated PBS program that airs every other year. It is the only prime-time television program in the U.S. featuring contemporary art and artists. KACV will air Season 5 of Art:21 on Wednesday nights this October at 9 pm and we can't WAIT! Find out more at www.art21.org
We'll have plenty more to come, but want to sincerely welcome you to the discussion. Let's see what happens together!
