Maryland Public Television is getting ready to launch season 5 of Artworks, MPT’s weekly arts series. The lively series is hosted by Rhea Feikin, a cultural icon in her own right. The show features intriguing profiles of established, emerging and experimental artists from across the country working in all creative categories: musicians, performers, visual artists, writers, designers, and artisans. Each program gives viewers insider access to outstanding artists they would never see otherwise, including many from our own area.
Washington Glass School Co-Director Michael Janis was invited to be Co-Host of the show, filming two episodes (AIRDATES: Episode 5013 Dec. 29, 2016; Episode 5014 Jan 5, 2017)
