Knight Foundation supports WPBT2/Community Television Foundation of South Florida to produce original content about the regional arts scene. Below, Cammy Richards, director of communications for WPBT2, writes about the anniversary of the series “Art Loft,” which first aired Feb. 5, 2013, and a new series of profiles.   Funding from Knight Foundation, both old and new, is helping us broaden our storytelling. With an eye on the emerging local arts community we are looking at this critical time to both promote and preserve the moment. Our weekly series “Art Loft” celebrates its anniversary on Feb. 5. It’s been a full year of documenting South Florida’s arts scene that’s also provided honors for our efforts.  The Suncoast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded “Art Loft” with its first Emmy Award in the arts/entertainment program category for 2013. Paired with our recent Knight Arts Challenge award to commission short films about emerging artists, we plan to build on this foundation to connect artists and their work to the South Florida community. The Emmy-winning episode included segments on the inaugural Humphrey Bogart Film Festival in Key Largo, a profile of artist Theaster Gates (produced by Knight Foundation during Gates’ installation at Locust Projects), Sweat Record’s annual Sweatstock Festival and an entry from the Borscht Film Festival called “A Toast (to Miami).”
