The videos will continue to give students who seek higher education in the arts exposure to real-life arts careers, as well as great production experience for their portfolios. Each 30-minute episode presents a compelling feature, ranging from master classes and interviews with successful alumni to tours of facilities and professional arts venues. This season, the series will include its first “foreign film” from an arts school in Milan, Italy.
Donn K. Harris, Executive Director and Artistic Director of the Oakland School for the Arts, said "The ASN Life in the Arts series is a window into thriving arts scenes, as seen through the lens of arts high schools that are often the center of these scenes. Offerings range from master classes given in the schools by working artists to public service announcements created by high school video teams. Generously underwritten by the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, the series continues to produce fascinating and diverse portraits of 'life in the arts'."
“Life in the Arts opened my eyes to what it will be like in the real world…as a concert vocalist,” said Amelia Barron, vocalist alumni from Orange County High School on her master class with Marvin Hamlish.
The Spring Season features episodes from ASN members: Oakland School for the Arts (Oakland, CA); Howard W. Blake School of the Arts (Tampa, FL); Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, (Jacksonville, FL); The High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (Houston, TX); and Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano (Milan, Italy).
Season 1 of Life in the Arts is available on-demand online. The videos featured such renowned artists as Herbie Hancock, Marvin Hamlish, Brian McGinnis, and Trey McIntyre.
