Friday, October 4 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, October 5 at 5:30 pm on Art Rocks! (episode #703), meet Shreveport-based ‘minimalist painter’ Joshua Chambers, whose use of saturated color gradients and fable-like imagery invoke a surreal quality inviting viewers to suspend disbelief. Next, see how the Rochester City Ballet creates a sensory friendly production of The Ugly Duckling. Then, a preservation society in New Mexico works to rediscover public art created in the 1930’s, as part of W.P.A. efforts.
