Joe Wertz: A year premieres
Two Okie filmmakers captured the creative lives of seven state artists working on an ambitious, year-long art project.
The documentary film “Art 365” will make its public debut at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch Dr. on July 3.
The film was directed and produced by Cacky Poarch and Melissa Scaramucci, both organizers of the deadCENTER Film Festival.
Poarch and Scaramucci were commissioned by the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition to create the film, which follows the seven artists chosen by OVAC’s for the Art 365 project, which allotted $10,000 for each artist to develop a creative idea.
Receiving the $10,000 honorarium were Sarah Atlee, Betsy Barnum, Joseph Daun, Ashley Griffith, Liz Roth, and art duo Darshan Phillips and Aaron Whisner.
Scaramucci and Poarch will attend the July 3 screening to answer audience questions.
