The Newport Arts Scene will be managed, manned and produced by the artist and arts lovers in the Newport area. What better way to advertise, promote and bring attention to what is going on with the arts in Newport than to have the artist review, discuss and promote each others events?
Newport Arts Scene was a radio show on WADK from December 2006 to December 2007. In that year, we were able to bring the artist of Newport on the show and talk about their craft. The show was sponsored by the Chanler at Cliff Walk. Due to the economy and circumstance out of my control the show was dropped.
The radio show was just going to be the start but as we all know it ultimately comes down to money.
So to bring the idea and dream back to life it occurred to me that we share the same audience in many cases, so why not do what the local papers are not able to do and start our own network that will cover all the arts in Newport, not just the ones that can afford to advertise.
If we share in this grass roots project we can not only help the existing arts programming and organizations, we can promote the growth of new programming that would otherwise not be able to exist.
Like any other grass roots arts project it requires three things, people with passion for the arts, people with the time to commit to the project and people with money. If we can bring together the people with passion and time, I believe the money will come.
Newport Arts Scene could be the first entertainment magazine of its kind. It would be managed by Erb Productions and would be owned by the people of Newport. All experience levels from the novice to the advanced are welcome. We would provide training in:
• All Aspects of Television, Film and Radio Production
• Television and Newspaper Reporting
• Website Web Mastering
• Blog Management
• Creative Writing
• Promotion and Design
• Event Promotion
• Newspaper Reporting
• Directing
All of the media study would be taught by the artists who have the talents to those who have the desire to learn a talent.
There is no fee to be involved and the only rules are to follow the plan set forth by the management team that promote the arts in Newport, "To support the performing arts with passion and without prejudice”.
Provide a collaborative and positive atmosphere that is inviting and nurturing both for the partnering companies and individual artist, regardless of experience. Share, support, promote and implement performing arts programs in the community for the youth and underprivileged that teach hope and acknowledge accomplishment. Attract and form a circle of mentor artists that have a passion to share about their crafts.
The Newport Arts Scene Magazine is open to artist and individuals that what to be involved with the arts scene in Newport, and Arts organizations that understand that partnering and collaborating is the key to success for their organization.
