One of the ways we celebrate important occasions and life is with dance. In that sentiment. Host Greg Smith features Joshua Peugh and Chad El-Khoury of Dark Circles Contemporary Dance to discuss their own paths to dance, the special event they have planned for August, past events they’ve brought here, and ways that we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy in the USA.
Greg Smith’s main topics will be Pride Month and the Arts. Guests will be State Senator Carrie Hamblen and media expert Jess Williams discussing the Pride Month show in the Staszewski Gallery at the Doña Ana Arts Council; how the Stonewall Riots in late June 1969 led to Pride Month all these decades later; the constructive roles each of the guests has played in those decades; and what role they and the arts are playing in the current dialogue about LGBTQA+ issues.
In keeping with the focus on art activities on the first Tuesday of every month, Nan Rubin hosts Karen Conley in the studio and Paul Maxwell on the phone to talk about the return of Art in the Garden on May 7th, sponsored by the Artists of Picacho Hills.
Host Greg Smith talks with Katrina Chandler about artificial intelligence and its potential threat to human-created art and humanity in general. The conversation explored the practical applications of artificial intelligence and its potential to do good or evil. The discussion also delved into the possibility of artificial intelligence competing with humans in the creation of various art forms. Will humans remain the primary creators of art, or will artificial intelligence become a significant competitor?
