<p>Activist Art by ARTivists is 'justice' work. It gives voice to the silenced, or marginalized, to better understand our collective humanity and the earth we share. Its public presence provides an opportunity for conversation and compassionate change. Few artists claim this space beyond the protest signs and posters. For them and their work, we offer our brave, safe creative space in Nelson's honor.</p>

<p>Activist Art by ARTivists is 'justice' work. It gives voice to the silenced, or marginalized, to better understand our collective humanity and the earth we share. Its public presence provides an opportunity for conversation and compassionate change. Few artists claim this space beyond the protest signs and posters. For them and their work, we offer our brave, safe creative space in Nelson's honor.</p>
<p>Nelson 'Carty' Ford Memorial Gallery, to be dedicated on April 30<sup>th</sup>, is an integrated gallery in the gathering spaces and walkways of WPAA-TV and Community Media Center. Nelson served on the Board of Directors from 2015-17. Subsequently, he served as the arts ambassador. His fine art series 'Bricks in Search of Words' graced our space until his passing in Dec 2023, said Artistic Director Josiah Houston. He influenced the use of public art to solve problems. The organization’s journey into #MoreThanTV began as a #PowerfulWildFree4Arts Project a.k.a. tiger mural to resolve a blight problem on the north side of their renovated 1924 cow barn. The tiger now called Hercules was a literal stretch for <span>Ryan Christenson</span> #Arcy who is now an internationally renowned muralist.</p>
<p>Nelson supported the permanent installation of #StreetshotZ by photographer Charles Buzinsky. This remains the featured installation of photographs, a book, and a digital display which actively engages viewers to support programs for their housing and food insecure neighbors.</p>
<p>Flipped from the 1960s Civil Rights headlines "We Are Not Like You" series by Brother Iyaba Ibo Mandingo will provoke necessary discussion of our shared 'differently' history. It was acquired this month. Source materials will be part of the installation.</p>
<p>The sculpture 'Conversation' by Ann Lehman, ' Mission in Mosaic' by Gallery53 artists, Wally political cartoons by Kevin Markowski are in the collection. Musicians may appreciate the reflective take on Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” Album Cover on loan from photographer and music man Robert Sims.</p>
<p>More about Carty: A 1963 graduate of Paier Art School he held day jobs as a graphic designer and pursued fine arts and his interest in history. His fine art was exhibited from 1991 until his passing. He began his major work The Awakening in a scroll 2 ft. by more than 500 ft. It explored the evolution of One Race with many faces, colors, cultures, and nations.</p>CONTEST: Place Yourself In Historytag:gnhcommunity.ning.com,2023-01-13:3365802:BlogPost:2034642023-01-13T18:09:29.000ZSusan Huizengahttps://gnhcommunity.ning.com/profile/SusanHuizenga

<p>The show is designed to address the need for 'active shooter training for Pre-K to Grade 5 in a non-scary way.</p>
<p>Anyone can view this film at noon or 9 pm via the wpaa.tv internet simulcast. Just put wpaa.tv in your browser. #wpaatv #socialactionart #MoreThanTV</p>
<p>The show will NOT be publically posted on the Internet.</p>
<p>As our friend, Sharlene Kerelejza, MSW, Clinical Assistant Professor Sacred Heart University shared, and the production team agrees:<br/>Philosophically I struggle with personal safety approaches, as it puts responsibility for protection on the most vulnerable members of the experience, but I get why folks feel the need to do it, and ... The puppet show is well done: cute, engaging, and artfully done. It’s not overly scary which is great.<br/>WPAA-TV appreciates the opportunity to collaborate with exceptionally talented people like Anatar Marmol-Gagné, puppeteer, and Russ Martin, Film Director, and have the support of community experts like Sharlene Kerelejza as we try to make this show available nationwide with appropriate support tools in place.<br/>This project was made possible by the community donors who contributed to #wpaatv during #theGreatGive2022, last May, and the Fred Ulbrich Memorial Fund.</p>

<p><em><strong>#in2languages #en2idiomas</strong> </em>is a Language Literacy TV initiative for persons learning English or Spanish which uses world, technology, arts and health news produced by German Broadcast TV <strong>Deutsche Welle</strong> in consecutively published segments Weekdays and Saturday, midday on WPAA-TV in Wallingford.</p>
<p>For those without cable TV, programs are concurrently streamed on the Internet at on wpaa.tv here <a href="http://wpaa.tv/watch/tvoninternet/">http://wpaa.tv/watch/tvoninternet/</a></p>
<p>The initiative began in 2013. The program continued until 2016 with a no fees contract between DW.DE and WPAA-TV. In 2017 Ion Bank underwrote the acquisition of Spanish content. Since then WPAA has matched local contributions from its program fund to keep the initiative going. As part of WPAA-TV distribution policy, a person or individual must consider content Good Enough 2 Share to be published. The Spanish Community of Wallingford has been the entity for this and has committed to helping with outreach and assessing community impact. </p>
<p>Help us get news of this exceptional media resource to as many people as possible serving populations who speak Spanish and are learning English, or vice-versa so that more learners can be helped in an informing manner.</p>

WPAA-TV was notified this week that it has won, the Overall Excellence award, the highest award presented by the Alliance For Community Media to access organizations. The award recognizes Community TV Stations for their overall operational activities and programming efforts. There are approximately 2,200 Community TV stations nationwide and about 3,000 festival entries. Since operating budget range from 10,000 to 1 Million plus annually based on population served, this award is given based upon station size. WPAA-TV falls into the 'small station' category of under $300,000.<br />

Susan Huizenga the volunteer Executive Director says "This recognition acknowledges that we are doing what is expected, representing a diversity of voices from a local perspective.

<p align="center"><b>LOCAL TV HOST WINS MEDIA AWARD FOR VALUE OF CONTENT</b></p>
<p>Georgian Lussier, a Wallingford resident, will be traveling to Portland Maine Oct 22<sup>nd</sup> to accept the Alliance for Community Media <b>Rika Welsh Award</b> given to community television producers who are successfully empowering the community they have chosen to serve; achieving the goal of creating make-a-difference community television.</p>
<p>The committee said “We picked Georgian for the impact her program "MidLife Matters" has on her guests, their causes and the community at-large”. With a mix of wisdom and wit, she discovers stories which are shared in conversation as TV. Georgian’s story is representative of those she uncovers about aging well. Like her guest she is between age 40 and 75. Her adventure in cultivating impactful stories began in midlife. She is significantly involved in the program production. Each 30 minutes segment requires an equivalent number of hours to produce from guest identification, prep, scheduling, outlining, studio work and then video editing.</p>
<p>The executive director at the station where MidLife Matters is produced says “I have had the privilege to meet all Georgian's guests and hear first-hand how the experience of discovering their own story was unexpectedly transforming.</p>
<p>Georgian has produced her show "MidLife Matters" for the past 3 and half years. It has included a variety of journey stories as well as specific content about various topics such as women's health, employment, loss, addiction, care giving, continuing education, veterans, and so much more. She has made connections with all her guests and has helped to get their messages out to the community.</p>
<p>Culling from her experiences she has written <b>5 Ways to Grow after 5O</b> available on Amazon. She is also a workshop presenter developing a program called <em><b>Advice to Your Younger Self: Celebrate Your Story</b></em> which provides insight for turning adversity into advocacy, finding your inside voice and networking.</p>
<p>Georgian is a Human Resource professional committed to helping women get the most out of midlife personally and professionally. Programs can be seen on WPAA-TV in Wallingford and on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNeDk-MllqznQP_sfwg3EMA" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.</p>Digital Media Curating as a Big Blue Birdtag:gnhcommunity.ning.com,2014-04-30:3365802:BlogPost:630792014-04-30T22:00:00.000ZSusan Huizengahttps://gnhcommunity.ning.com/profile/SusanHuizenga
