Our sincere thanks to Joe Johnson and the rest of the great people from CMN TV for their training, patience and moral support! Joe also gave "Art Unhinged" a nice write-up on their schedule page.
The Spring I/ACT seminars are also available on DVD! These include "Public Art in Troy / Pathways Through Troy" featuring Ron Hynd and Jeff Biegler. In addition, John Tagle's seminar about "Good Design is Good Business" which includes discussion about "green design" is available.
The May, 2008 "Public Art in Troy Forum" by Leadership Troy is also nearing completion .
Hopefully, all of these will be showing on CMN in upcoming months.
Copies of all of these seminars are available on DVD from Charlene Brown..
Please do not hesitate to call if you would like copies for yourself or community group. We are trying to promote the arts in Troy - and this will help get the word out.
