NEW MEDIA PROJECT ANNOUNCED BY HUDSON VALLEY PLAYERS

Hudson Valley magazineย Chronogramย announces the launch ofย ArtSceneโ€”a new web TV series about Hudson Valley artโ€”exploring artists, galleries and museums, and history.

Beginning in January 2015, beloved Hudson Valley lifestyle magazine,ย Chronogram, takes a next step in their mission to stimulate and support the creative life of the Hudson Valley. The launch of ArtScene,ย a web TV seriesย produced by Independent filmmaker Stephen Blauweiss withย Chronogramย editor Brian K. Mahoney acting as host, interviews various artists from around the region including the current cover artist of that monthโ€™s issue.

โ€œIโ€™ve always been intrigued by theย Chronogramย cover artistโ€™s stories while making those films,โ€ producer Stephen Blauweiss explains. โ€œAfter 4 years and over 35 cover artist films, the artistic process never ceases to amaze me.โ€

The premier episode, which is available to view in segments or as a whole atย Chronogram.com/TV,ย features photographer Carolyn Marks Blackwood, painter Staats Fasoldt, a overview of the art scene in Beacon, NY, sculptor Zeโ€™ev Willy Neumann, ceramicist Robert Hessler, and Januaryย Chronogramโ€™s on the cover artist Steven Siegel. Future episodes, produced monthly, will include similar segmentsโ€”including a special piece on Rosendale, NY based multimedia artist Wayne Montecalvo who was recently featured on PBS.
