Art Beat
 Fine
Art is thriving in the metro Detroit area. The area's artists represent
a wide range of media, work and notoriety. The creation of art is second
nature to some viewers while others are mystified by the creative process.
Art Beat takes a fresh view of artists and their art. Each 30-minute
program focuses on one artist.Art Beat is hosted by Rob Maniscalco, a gallery owner, portrait
artist and art educator. Maniscalco brings a unique point of view to
his journeys with the artists. He explores their creative minds, cuts
through the perceived pretensions, peels back the layers to expose the
artists as people, follows them through the process of creating their
art and examines their motivations and methods.
Art Beat allows the artists to express themselves not only through
their work but their words. Maniscalco takes you along on the sometimes
wild, always enlightening ride for a 30-minute perspective of the artists
in their own personal space, not a gallery or a museum.
Art Beat is for everyone from the seasoned collector to the
uninitiated. It is a truly fresh look at the artists' world. Maniscalco
is not afraid to ask the questions on all of our minds; he's not afraid
to have fun in the world of art. He seeks to reveal the creative spirit,
from a glass blower to a kickboxing painter to a found-art fish fanatic.
