This season Great Performances on TV-15 – the Arts promises to be memorable, with hits like are a big part of who we are. Sweeney Todd, Porgy and Bess, The Nance, and many more. Art encompasses much more than symphonies, theater, musicals and operas. No matter where you turn, people are creating art, often in ways we never expected. Right here in Hampton Roads, there are sculptors, poets, photographers, musicians, painters, and the list goes on. The cover of this month’s guide features a painting from local artist Kim Keene, who just painted a mural for the ODU Athletics Department. Learn more on page 10 about her work. To draw attention to our local emerging artists, like Kim, WHRO has launched a new initiative called The Scene. Visit whro.org/TheScene to view profiles and discover artistic work created here in our community that otherwise you might not know about. WHRO is bringing them into the spotlight with webisodes you can watch online and share. Pablo Picasso once said, “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” So whether you’re in the mood for more traditional fine art, or interested in exploring what re-defines art, WHRO offers something for everyone who appreciates the expression of human creativity.
