celebratory artist interviews
(with thanks to Emily, Margarita and Suba)
interviews of local artists by students learning marketing and advocacy of the arts celebrated in an evening of discussion and recorded tapes
well presented with dark background so each artist,
responding to unseen interviewer, is seen naturally
rather than embarrassed by the camera
each is led to speak of concepts vital to an artist’s being
creativity, nourishment for the soul, connection to the richest of life
and the need to reach to share
wandering thoughts then edited and presented as moments
of hard-gained wisdom and joy
a privilege to be a participant
