The Glen Workshop… on public television!

As many of you know, I just returned from The Glen Workshop, the annual gathering of artists in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for inspiration, workshops, lectures, music, museum tours, great food, and great company. It’s the highlight of my year.

I just got word from the folks at Image, who run the show, that a program about this year’s Glen Workshop will be on public television this weekend!

Here’s the announcement:

Image’s Glen Workshop to be Featured on Public Television This Weekend

 

We are delighted to inform you that Image and the Glen Workshop will be featured this weekend on a broadcast of Religion and Ethics Newsweekly, a national public television program produced by WNET Television in New York. The segment was recorded at our recent Glen Workshop, which was centered on the theme—“God of the Desert: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam through the Prism of Art.”

 

Featuring speakers from all three traditions, this year’s Glen evoked intense discussion and, for many, new horizons. Its purpose was to challenge Christian artists to discover how beauty and art might enable us to better understand the other religious traditions that trace their lineage back to Abraham.

 

The Religion and Ethics Newsweekly crew, led by senior correspondent (and poet) Judy Valente, filmed extensively in workshops and plenary sessions over a two-day period.

 

At a time when ideological politics and celebrity dysfunctionality dominate the airwaves, we’re proud that a national television program sees Image’s mission and programs as newsworthy.

 

You will be able to go to the program’s website and watch the segment by Friday evening. It will remain up all week. To go to the Religion and Ethics Newsweekly home page, click here.
