What is Spark?

www.kqed.org/spark

Spark is about Bay Area artists and arts organizations -- it is a weekly television show, an educational outreach program and a Web site. More than a showcase for art objects and the artists who make them, Spark takes the audience inside the creative process to witness the challenges, opportunities and rewards of making art.

 

Spark TV

Tune in to KQED Public Television 9 every Wednesday at 7:30pm for profiles of Bay Area artists and performers, along with a calendar of upcoming events and programs. Repeat broadcasts can be seen on Fridays at 11:30pm. The series is narrated by comic artist and rapper Keith Knight. Many of the segments are produced by well-known, local independent producers.

 

Spark Education

SparkEd is the education and outreach program of Spark, offering media resources, educational materials and professional development training, including comprehensive Educator Guides and arts education tools to help K-12 and post-secondary educators use Spark in the classroom. SparkEd professional development provides presentations, hands-on workshops, training institutes and continuing education courses to help educators extend and deepen their capacity to teach in and through the arts.

 

Spark Web

This 2003 EMMY award-winning Web site takes visitors even deeper into the arts community by supplementing the television series, supporting the educational outreach program and providing unique content. The site provides a digital library of hundreds of video and audio streams of Bay Area artists, one of the largest collections of its kind available online.

 

Spark is produced by KQED Public Television and the Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC).
