Speaking of the Arts

Each month the Missouri Arts Council features four artists on its website from a variety of arts genres, and on this week's show Diana Moxon checks in with three of the February artists (timing precluded the inclusion of the 4th): St Louis-based film maker, Joseph Puleo, whose documentary 'America's Last Little Italy: The Hill' has received multiple film festival awards and explores the colorful history of St Louis' Italian neighborhood; muralist and fine art watercolorist Linda Hoover in Houstonia; and nature inspired abstract painter Joha Bisone in Kansas City. You can see the works of this week's guests on their websites: https://www.facebook.com/TheHillDoc; https://johabisone.com/home.html;http://www.lindahooverart.com/.Thanks, as always, to guitarist Yasmin Williams (http://www.yasminwilliamsmusic.com/) for the show's opening and closing music entitled, 'Restless Heart'.

What is Speaking of the Arts?

Speaking of the Arts is mid-Missouri's only weekly arts show. The show is hosted by Diana Moxon, who chats with actors, directors, authors, musicians, festival directors, event organizers, arts curators, and artists about the events they are involved in and also about their own works and their influences. Whilst the show focuses mainly on the mid-Missouri arts scene, Diana's guests have included international composers, conductors, authors as well as artists, musicians, and performers from around Missouri.
