Press/Play: An International Artist Broadcast

James David Morgan wrote this post at 11:00 am on May 10th, 2008.

Today, May 10th, at 6pm-8pm EST, the Press/Play broadcast will take place and be streamed here. Groundswell takes the stage at 6:40, and our friends from WonderRoot at 6:55. Tune in!

Press/Play is the first of six experimental broadcasts of 24 local, national and international artists exhibiting a five-minute presentation of what is currently happening within their local art community.

The presentations will be projected to an audience of artists and art supporters live via Skype. Press/Play will take place May 10th at 6pm EST. The first event will be exhibited at the 555 Gallery in Detroit, and the events will broadcast every other month for one year. Each will concentrate on individual themes within the arts. In September the broadcast will focus on “Art in social context and expressing political issues,” and the November broadcast will be about D.I.Y.
