Amber at Open Studio |
In the past year, duCret School of Art has found itself in the public eye more than once. Ironically, it is the artists emerging from the school who are creating larger-than-life opportunities for other artists of the area. What started as an on-the-spot sculpting opportunity for Ralph Attanasia in Buddy Valastro's bakery one day, led to an opportunity for other sculpting students. For the past few years now, several sculpting students have been regularly featured on TLC’s 'Cake Boss' television series. Last year, television producers flew Ralph to Italy to shoot an episode.
During late August 2011, producers with Parthenon Entertainment, a UK/Canadian production company came on to the 'Fine Art Floor' at duCret and filmed several Tuesday night Open Studio members as part of a documentary on the featured Comic Con model, Amber Love.
Amber, who's personal story and growth in the arts is reflected over a period of months in a special chronological journey, speaks to the issue of self esteem and finding one's place in life by digging deep into the soul and bringing forth that which must be expressed, whether it 'fits' into society's standard ideals or not. The film company, Parthenon distributes a diverse portfolio of high quality factual and children's properties for the global marketplace.
