Note From the Producer A r t s M v e Television C; I heers! Happy New Year! We here at Arts Alive look forward to sharing some fun times with you on the first and second Friday and following Mondays of each month. A l w a y s 'unpredictable, never boring, we w i l l enter into your living rooms and bedrooms and entertain you like never before. Not only that, we w i l l introduce you to some of the most innovative, dynamic, and interesting people: we w i l l take you to studios, concerts, galleries, theatres, and events. You w i l l laugh, you w i l l cry. We hope that we w i l l inspire you and give you an opportunity to look at things through a different lens. A n d the really great thing is that all these people and events are from our neighbourhood -- the North Shore. In our January Arts Alive, our dynamic duo hosts. Graham Argyle and Jackie D y c k . w i l l share with you some of the highlights of 1997: teen reporter Rachel Cohen meets with Jeremy Walters, a vision-impaired artist whose vision is really far greater that ours, and Noel Fisher gets some tips from 1997 TeenRites winner W i l l i a m Marchinski. We w i l l also revisit The Odds as they snap up three Pacific M u s i c Industry Awards. Other highlights include visual artists M a r y Coomber M i l e s and Victor M i l e s , actor Gabe Kouth, cartoonist Lynn Johnston, and actors Todd M c G i l l i v r a y and Don M c W i l l i a m in the film The Time Being. We w i l l go to Presentation House, the Ferry Building, and the North Vancouver Museum and Archives. Join Jackie and Graham at the third F A N S extravaganza with recipients A r l y n and Luman Coad, orchestral composer Jean Coulthard, and songwriter/singer R o y Forbes. A n d still there's more! In February, we w i l l start our series on artists who are renowned in their home country but are having a hard time "breaking into" the Canadian art scene. Turkish painter Turkan Y i l d i z w i l l be the first to share her experiences and work. A pillar of our arts community, A l Emsley w i l l share his thoughts on the influence Lawren Harris had on him and his own spiritual realization through his collection of driftwood sculptures and mobiles. We w i l l check out actor Corrine Koslo's latest theatrical venture, and of course the month of love and lovers would not be complete without coverage of the K I S S Project. How could you possibly miss all of this? So. the first two Fridays of the month, 9 p.m., and the following Mondays at 4 p.m., shall we rendezvous? Your living room? Bedroom? Perhaps a nightcap? A coffee? You name it, w e ' l l be there -- on your community channel, Rogers Community 4. .i T h e N o r t h S h o r e A r t s C o m m i s s i o n ' s 1997 FANS N I G H T A Celebration of the Arts on the North Shore Our Thanks To All Those That Made This Event Possible: S e c o n d a r y E v e n t P a t r o n s : N O R P A C Controls, BC Rail.
