Art Matters

Jorg hosts the chair of the MFA program at LCAD, Peter Zokosky. He brings with him two graduates of the program, Renae Wang and Jonathan McHugh. We have a great converstaion about their experiences in the MFA program and post graduation, what are the pathways they are taking in regards to their art careers and the challenges they face surviving in the art world.

I speak with artist and designer Gabriella Kohr about her time at the Laguna College of Art and Design as well as her vintage inspired clothing line. Gabriella is a full time working artist with a great future in front of her. Keep an eye out for her paintings as well as her clothing line!

Jorg has Rick Conkey, the CEO of the Laguna Beach Cultural Arts Center on the show. He talks about its origins, programming, and future. It is a great institution that brings great cultural events to the hamlet. Music, art, lectures as well as sponsoring events around town.

Jorg rambles on and on about scupture commissions and the set backs at getting them complete. Jorg also throws a few local art institutions under the bus about lack of vision and for creating roadblocks to creativity.

Jorg hosts the chair of the illustration department at the Lagune College of Art and Design, LCAD. He brought along with him Em Cates who will be graduating from LCAD shortly. John gives us a background on his career path that brought him to Laguna. We review the program he has created and all the opportunities that are waiting for students in LCAD's illustration program once they graduate.

Jorg speaks with his good friends, Maria and Marlene about there careers as photograpers and models. The both dive into how they met and about there collaborations as art photographers. Great to have them on.

Louis Longi and I talk about creativity and how to open up the creative juices here in Laguna Beach without restriction. Creating special art and music events that shine a new light on our fair hamlet.

Jorg and Billy review the great Laguna Achievement Festival , (The LAF awards), that happened Saturday evening at the beautiful 7 degrees here in Laguna Beach. It was an amazing event the celebrated all the great folks who make Laguna Beach cool.
Also a little chat about my sculpture, TEMPEST", but don't want to linger on that, (although we did).
The LAF awards was epic. Look for it next year and support KXFM and all the soulful folks who make it happen!

Jorg takes over the airways with guests Billy, Debb and Jason to have a chat about all things Laguna especially the first annual Laguna Achievement Festival or the LAF awards. In a time of high anxiety, we all need a laugh! Mar. 29th. 2025 @ 7 degrees in the creative hamlet of Laguna Beach, CA. See you there!

Jorg speaks with amazing artist, Jimi Gleason who continues to have an amazing career with shows across the nation.
