The Art of the Matter

The best part of my job as producer here at KACV is that there is always something new to learn. A few months ago, the term,” heritage seeds” meant nothing to me, but now I know they are used to grow a garden like the Native Americans planted around what is now Perryton, Texas.

The KACV production crew is also hard at work gathering interviews from local Dust Bowl survivors. We’ll conduct interviews at the studio here on the AC campus on October 22nd. Then, in the coming months, we will travel to Dalhart, Perryton and Guymon to gather more stories.

While busy learning about the Dust Bowl and Indian gardens, we put the final touches on our program that aired last August, “Ben Konis: The Artist’s Artist”.
As we move into Fall, we will continue to focus on the arts in the Panhandle. Our newest program, “ArtZone” will focus on art in our region including but not limited to visual art, music and the written word. The KACV production crew will capture events as they happen for later broadcast as well as for the internet. We think art is important and we know there is a lot of it right here. Who else can bring it to you than KACV-TV? Look for “ArtZone” in December.
