Thom Francis introduces us to Jill Crammond and Cheryl A. Rice who shared their work at Arts Associates Gallery in Albany for a special reading celebrating Poetic License - a joint project of the Hudson Valley Writers Guild and Upstate Artists Guild. 

“Ekphrastic art” is defined as the response of an artist in one medium to a work of art by an artist in another medium. Its more common manifestation is in poetry written about visual art, e.g., paintings, photographs, drawings, sculpture. Poetic License – Albany is a project that turns that around, giving local visual artists an opportunity to respond to the work of poets.

In 2022, inspired by a project created by the Poetry Barn in West Hurley, NY & the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK), the Hudson Valley Writers Guild & the Upstate Artists Guild  created their own version of this project which they called Poetic License – Albany. 113 individual poems were submitted by 62 poets; ultimately, 18 works of visual art were exhibited at the Art Associates Gallery & at Lark Hall in Albany, with 3 readings held in conjunction with the exhibits. 

This week we will hear from two of those poets - Jill Crammond and Cheryl A. Rice - who shared their work on September 28, 2022, at the Arts Associates Gallery in Albany.

Local poet and photographer Dan Wilcox served as the host for the evening introducing the writers and artists. 

The Hudson Valley Writers Guild & the Upstate Artists Guild are excited to work together again  to present this opportunity in 2023 for collaboration between poets and visual artists in the Capital District.

A Photographic Life-359: 'Knowledge, Photo Knowledge and Not Getting Paid!'

Rencontre au salon de lecture Jacques Kerchache avec Sarah Ligner et Caroline Herbelin dans le cadre de l’accrochage en boîte arts graphiques "Regards croisés sur la cour impériale de Huế" (du 6 mars au 30 juin 2025).

Caroline Herbelin, université de Toulouse - Jean Jaurès et université d’État de New York à Albany
Sarah Ligner, est responsable de l’UP Mondialisation Historique et Contemporaine au musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac

à propos de la boite arts graphiques :
La prise violente de Huế en 1883 affirme la domination française sur l’Annam (actuel Vietnam). Siège du pouvoir impérial de la dynastie des Nguyễn (1802-1945) la ville reste, malgré la colonisation, un centre culturel important. Les arts sont l'un des rares domaines où le souverain peut exercer son pouvoir et les Français sont fascinés par l’apparat et les rituels de la cour. Les artistes locaux et européens ont répondu à cet intérêt en développant de nouvelles formes artistiques dont témoignent les peintures et œuvres graphiques méconnues mises à l’honneur dans cette présentation.

The WD~40 Podcast keeps artistic thinking smooth and rust-free. Each episode is inspired by a current art exhibition in Rotterdam, bringing its themes to life through artists' voices, music, and field recordings. The second episode takes inspiration from the exhibition "Underdeveloped #2," currently on view at Garage Rotterdam until May 5, 2025. Both the exhibition and this episode explore art as a collective, non-hierarchical practice. Underdeveloped #2 creates a space for art, cooking, collaboration, reading, playfulness. This episode extends this practice through ideas, sounds, and music. Special thanks to reinaart vanhoe, Reza Afisina, and Iskra Cvitkovićka. Visit the website to learn more about the people making Underdeveloped #2 happen.

March 25 | The Sponsorship Experts Podcast

Been a musician all of his adult life - 20 years; the Money Question? Yes! Able to make a living as a musician mostly through shows, also teaching, production, some private events; not putting out CDs any more - it's "a thing of the past", because many people (including Dave) no longer have CD players; Dave Holodiloff Bluegrass covers of the Grateful Dead? Been a fan since high school, learned to play Dead songs; have performed a Grateful Dead / Jerry Garcia show every year on Jerry's birthday - this year will be the 17th annual, at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur; other Rock n' Roll covers? Listened to Led Zeppelin as a teenager and learned to plan  on guitar, later mandolin, but in high school his primary instrument was drums; path from Rock n' Roll to Balkan music? Balkan music uses exotic rhythms (which appeals to a drummer), harmonies, and minor keys; theme shows, and Balkan trio shows.
