Venice Arts Celebrates 19Th Anniversary Gala, Honoring Long-Time Friends Karen & Dann Florek and Leigh Johnson & Tom FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Venice Arts Celebrates 19th Anniversary Gala, Honoring Long-time Friends Karen & Dann Florek and Leigh Johnson & Tom Wright LOS ANGELES, CA – (OCTOBER 23, 2012) 19th Anniversary Gala Saturday, November 3, 2012, 5–8pm 1702 Lincoln Blvd., Venice, CA 90291 On Saturday, November 3, 2012, from 5–8pm, Venice Arts will celebrate its 19th Anniversary with a festive Gala fundraiser at its beautiful, newly renovated gallery and workshop space at 1702 Lincoln Blvd. The event supports Venice Arts’ free art mentoring program for low-income youth and honors long-time friends Karen & Dann Florek and Leigh Johnson & Tom Wright. Actor Tom Wright, and his wife Leigh Johnson have been involved with Venice Arts throughout its 19-year history, and their two children were participants in Venice Arts’ program in its early days. Wright has appeared in numerous television series including “Crash,” as well as the films co-starred in the feature films Barbershop and Barbershop 2: Back in Business, as well as John Sayles’ film “Sunshine State.” In 2001, Wright and Johnson’s son Eamon was among a group that traveled with Venice Arts’ mentors to Durban, South Africa to attend the United Nations’ World Conference Against Racism, Xenophobia, & Related Intolerance as official delegates of the City of Los Angeles, under the auspices of the Human CONTACT: Relations’ Commission. Speaking of his perspective on the Elysa Voshell impact of this and other Venice Arts’ programs on both his own Gallery & Public Programs Manager children and the youth he observed through his many years of 310.392.0846 involvement, Wright says that “I think that Venice Arts does a [email protected] really good job of fostering an individual child’s point of view and getting them to understand that they have value, and that Venice Arts their words and photographs have value and have impact.” 1702 Lincoln Blvd. Venice, CA 90291 Fellow Actor Dann Florek, best known for his role as www.venicearts.org Captain Donald Cragen on Law & Order: SVU, and his wife, www.facebook.com/venicearts.org Photographer Karen Florek, are also longtime Venice Arts supporters. The Floreks have attended Venice Arts’ events and purchased student work, and Karen served as a mentor to Venice Arts’ classes, teaching students alternative photographic techniques. On the impact of Venice Arts on the community, Dann Florek says that “It’s a great thing to be able to have a learning center where you can be there at little or no cost.... Creativity doesn’t belong to any class level specifically. I think one of the most important things is to give people the chance and an opportunity—everybody should have an equal shot at having a chance to express themselves, to see how far they can go, to see what they can do, to discover what they love, and how far they can take it.” Tribute videos made by Venice Arts’ advanced film students focused on the honorees will be screened at the Gala, and student docents will be available to give tours of the silent auction exhibition, which will feature over 70 photographs by world-renowned photographers and Venice Arts’ students. A live auction will include such enticing items as exclusive wines from Slusser Ranch Vineyards and Deloach Vineyards. The winning ticket of Venice Arts’ raffle will be drawn, and the Dann Florek lucky winners will receive an iPod Touch, an Apple gift card, a luxurious cashmere scarf from Kate Kanyon Cashmere, gift certificates to Abbot Kinney restaurants, and more. The Gala also includes a wide selection of hors d’oeuvres and refreshments from local Venice restaurants and businesses; an entertaining program, music Latin jazz singer Birdie Mendoza, and our ever-popular student-run photobooth; student-led docent tours of the Gala exhibition; and the opportunity to support Venice Arts by acquiring a photograph by one of our talented students and world-renowned professional photographers who have generously donated their work to support the organization.

  • The Representation of Neonaticide in the Media
    MEDIA REPRESENTATION OF MATERNAL NEONATICIDE A Thesis by JOCELYN RENEE LEWIS Submitted to Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE May 2008 Major Subject: Sociology MEDIA REPRESENTATION OF MATERNAL NEONATICIDE A Thesis by JOCELYN RENEE LEWIS Submitted to Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Approved by: Chair of Committee, Sarah N. Gatson Committee Members, Holly Foster Antonio La Pastina Head of Department, Mark Fossett May 2008 Major Subject: Sociology iii ABSTRACT Media Representation of Maternal Neonaticide. (May 2008) Jocelyn Renee Lewis, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Sarah N. Gatson The present research conducted a rich discourse analysis of an episode of the fictional television crime drama, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, as well as a content analysis of local and national news transcripts focusing on the representation of mothers who commit neonaticide. Both fictional and non-fictional media sources exhibited aspects of the monstrous maternal theme and the strain defense theme. The monstrous maternal theme consists of words and statements that indicate the descriptions of crime committed against the newborn as well as negative responses and reactions by others to the young mother and her crime. The strain defense theme refers to instances that discuss the internal and external strains of the young woman that may have contributed to her committing neonaticide. However, the “monstrous maternal” is the prevailing representation of mothers who commit neonaticide in both fictional and non- fictional media sources.

  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media.

    FREE KISS AND DIE PDF Lee Weeks | 456 pages | 22 Jul 2010 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9781847561275 | English | London, United Kingdom A Kiss to Die For (TV Movie ) - IMDb Build up your Halloween Watchlist with our list of the most popular horror titles on Netflix in October. See the list. Those Bedroom Eyes - William, a Harvard psychology professor is having trouble dealing with life after the death of his wife when he meets a beautiful woman named Ali. As their relationship grows, he begins to question her secretive past, which he discovers is linked to a series of murders that the police are investigating. Written by Anonymous. He tried to commit suicide. Afterwards they make love on board the train. A classy prostitute, calling herself Kiss and Die Eyes", shoots her customers to death. Her face is not seen, so the question is whether the woman on the Train and "Bedroom Eyes" are the same person. I am not really a fan of romantic films. I can reveal so much that Rogers' character suffers from multiple personality disorder. She has been abused by her father as a little girl. The film had been better if her Kiss and Die personalities had been the opposites of each other. Her "normal" personality is also unchaste She makes love on a train with a stranger she just met. This weakens the story. Tippi Hedren's character in "Marnie" was frigid. Joanne Woodward's characters in "The Three Faces of Eve" were different, only one of them was flirtatious. I don't know why the script writer decided to make her two personalities so similar.

  • Richard Belzer
    RICHARD BELZER Richard Belzer returns for his tenth season as the acerbic character Detective John Munch on Wolf Films/ Universal Media Studio’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, after first portraying Munch on NBC’s critically acclaimed drama series Homicide: Life on the Street for seven years. His character transferred from Baltimore to New York to join the crime unit. “This is one conspiracy in which I have been a willing participant,” says Belzer, a renowned conspiracy theorist. In fact, Belzer has played Detective Munch on a record-setting ten different television series— Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law and Order: Trial By Jury, Homicide, The X-Files, The Beat, M.O.N.Y., Sesame Street, The Wire and Arrested Development. The veteran standup comic, actor, talk-show host and author was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Due to his “uncontrollable wit,” Belzer was politely asked to leave every school he ever attended. He first worked as a reporter for the Bridgeport Post and several other newspapers around the country. This interest in journalism is traced directly to his days as a paperboy in his hometown. Belzer honed his life experiences into barbed comedic material drawn from other former jobs including teacher, census- taker, jewelry salesman and dockworker. Belzer began his career in show business with a starring role in Groove Tube, the counterculture film that went on to become a cult classic. Since then, Belzer’s comedic talents have been featured in every entertainment medium from off-Broadway (The National Lampoon Show with Bill Murray, Gilda Radner and John Belushi) to radio (Brink and Belzer on WNBC) to film (Fame, Author, Author, Night Shift and Scarface).
