See Miró and Noguchi on VoV

Are you planning to experience the Joan Miró exhibition at Seattle Art Museum or Isamu Noguchi’s show at the Frye Art Museum this Spring?  Both of these amazing internationally known artists are featured as part of Vashon Allied Art’s wonderful Art History Lecture Series, “Trailblazers,” with art historian Rebecca Albiani. Videos of Rebecca’s talks about these two artists are now available for viewing online as part of Voice of Vashon’s Arts On the Air series. You can learn about the artists and gain insights into their world before seeing their creations live in Seattle.

Vashon Allied Arts and Mike and Gerry Feinstein have partnered with Voice of Vashon to record and broadcast Albiani’s presentations.  All her talks from this season, profiling Miró, Noguchi, Bernini, Botticelli, Manet and Monet, are available on demand at VoiceOfVashon.org. They are part of VAA’s Arts & Humanities Series, now in its fifth year.

Arts & Humanities co-producers Gerry and Mike Feinstein started the series in 2007 with the encouragement of VAA to see if there was an audience for this kind of programming on Vashon Island. It was so successful that the program has grown each year, selling out every talk this year. “We invite individuals who are dynamic and well respected in their fields and who have something to teach us about the creative process,” Mike explained. “We are delighted to be able to attract such an intellectually curious audience.”

“Arts On The Air is a Voice of Vashon broadcast presentation of original performances by Vashon-Maury Island artists,” says VoV Station Manger Susan McCabe.  “From classical concerts and art lectures to aerial artistry, Vashon enjoys an abundance of creative and talented performers. Our goal at VoV is to provide a forum that expands the audience for our Island artists.” Arts On The Air shows have been produced by Vashon Allied Arts, Open Space For Arts & Community and other Island arts organizations.
 Arts On The Air is supported by a grant from ArtsWA and The National Endowment for the Arts, and all shows are available for viewing at VoiceOfVashon.org.
