Earth VideoWorks Announces Production and Scheduled Airing of PBS Program. Phoenix, Arizona -- September 14, 2005 -- Earth VideoWorks announces the the production of a new program to be aired on the local Phoenix PBS station, KAET Channel 8, entitled "GALLERY: Gorman - Peña- Challenger". The program will feature segments from the Earth VideoWorks DVD productions: "Mystique - The Art of R. C. Gorman", "Spirit of the Southwest - The Art of Amado M. Peña, Jr.", and "Sacred Visions - The Art of JD Challenger". The program is scheduled to air October 16th, 2005 at 4:00 p.m. The program will run for an hour as part of the local Phoenix PBS October Pledge Drive. Viewers will have the opportunity to purchase any or all 3 of the DVDs featured in the program, by pledging a donation to PBS. "Mystique - The Art of R. C. Gorman" features over 100 works of Gorman's exquisite art accompanied by pianist, Peter Kater, and Native American Flutist, R. Carlos Nakai. R. C. Gorman is the Navajo artist acclaimed by the New York Times as the "Picasso of the Southwest". Internationally famous for his uninhibited, free-flowing style, his paintings depict women as earthy, nurturing, enigmatic and beautiful in rich, bold, vibrant colors. Peter Kater and R. Carlos Nakai have collaborated for over 15 years. Their music is ceremony and praise, song and celebration, and is a perfect compliment to the Mystique that is R.C. Gorman's art. "Spirit of the Southwest - The Art of Amado M. Peña, Jr." presents over 150 works of Peña's unique art accompanied by Grammy Award winning Native American flute music by Mary Youngblood. Peña's work is the essence of the Southwest, with bold colors, forms and dynamic composition that capture a vision of a people, a land, and its art. Mary Youngblood was a Grammy Award winner in 2003 for the vibrant release Beneath The Raven Moon. Many of the songs on that album and songs from her other releases, The Offering, Heart of the World, and 2005 Grammy nominated Feed The Fire accompany "Spirit of the Southwest". This production won a prestigeous Telly Award for 2005. "Sacred Visions - The Art of J. D. Challenger" features over 120 works of Challenger's powerful art accompanied by the Native music of Robert Mirabal. JD Challenger's signature style depicting Native American warriors, women, medicine men and storytellers has generated perhaps some of the most compelling works dominating the Southwest art scene today. Robert Mirabal has won six Nammy awards, including Artist of the Year in 2001 and 2003, for his heartfelt music.
