Local Arts coverage on RMPBS

Have  you checked out the "Arts District" show on Rocky Mountain PBS?  It airs Thursdays at 7:30pm and Fridays at 2pm on Rocky Mountain PBS.  I enjoy the show, but wish it had more programming on local artists.  The format is one segment on a Colorado artist, and several from other parts of the country.  Some of these segments are a little unprofessional and annoying.  The last "Arts District" I watched featured wonderful crochet work or portraits by Oregon Artist Jo Hamilton.  her work is playful, that is what makes it appealing to me, but the producer seemed to be condescending about her choice of materials and technique. This is hardly helpful to get the larger audience to appreciate her work.  Other than that, I am glad Rocky Mountain PBS is giving time on it's schedule to concentrate on the arts. 

Providing time on the schedule is especially nice because RMPBS doesn't show two of my favorite Artist programs on their station.  They are "Craft in America" and "Art 21"  although, with the magic of the interwebs, you can watch both of them online.  here and here.

With that said, I did find out that Friday night, Great Performances will show Cats on RMPBS.  So, that is pretty cool and arty.
