LAUREATE LAURIE ANN GUERRERO,
WHO'S USING HER TALENT TO GIVE

BACK TO HER COMMUNITY.
TAMLY IS BACK IN SAN ANTONIO.

WE'LL FIND OUT WHERE SHE WENT
AND WHAT'S ON HER LIST OF ART

OPENINGS AROUND SAN ANTONIO.
ADAM ROCHA OF S.A. FILM JOINS US

TO TALK ABOUT NEXT WEEK'S 20th
ANNUAL FILM FESTIVAL AND WHAT WE

CAN EXPECT NEXT YEAR.
IT'S ALL AHEAD AND MUCH, MUCH

MORE ON THIS EDITION OF "ARTS."

>> HI AND WELCOME BACK TO
"ARTS."

FIRST UP, WE MEET A MOTHER OF
THREE WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED ON

THE SOUTH SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO.
SHE IS A WRITER, A POET, BUT NOT

JUST ANY WRITER AND CERTAINLY
NOT JUST ANY POET.

SHE IS LAURIE ANN GUERRERO, SAN
ANTONIO'S SECOND POET LAUREATE.

TONIGHT WE PROFILE THE WOMAN WHO
STARTED WRITING AT THE AGE OF 8,

FOUND SUCCESS, AND NOW IS USING
HER TALENT TO GIVE BACK TO HER

COMMUNITY.
>> WRITING OFFERED A SPACE FOR

ME TO RECORD THE KINDS OF THINGS
THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING.

I THINK CULTURALLY, AS A YOUNG
GIRL, AND THEN IN A FAMILY OF

BOYS, I OFTEN FOUGHT TO BE
HEARD.

SO THE PAGE OFFERED A SPACE.
NO NEED FOR GROWN-UPS, CHILD

PROTECTIVE SERVICES WHO WERE TOO
BUSY, THE LEGISLATORS WHO

COULDN'T GIVE EDUCATION,
MEDICATION TO THIS POOR

NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS CITY WITH LA
RAZA WITH NO MUSCLE NO VOICE.

HOPE WAS A SAFE SPACE.
BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFE SPACE, IT

TOOK ME A WHILE TO WANT TO
SHARE.

IN THE SIXTH GRADE, I HAD AN
ENGLISH TEACHER, SANDY PRICE,

WHO SUBMITTED OUR POEMS THAT WE
WROTE IN CLASS TO A CONTEST TO

THE CULTURAL ARTS CONTEST,
POETRY CONTEST, AND I WON.

THAT KIND OF CHANGED MY IDEA OF
WHAT I COULD DO WITH THIS THING

THAT I WAS DOING FOR MYSELF.
THERE WAS SPACE THERE TO BE

HEARD.
SO THAT EXCITED ME, I THINK, AND

THAT KIND OF PUSHED ME TO WRITE
MORE.

I HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF HONORS,
AND FOR ME IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT

TO REMEMBER WHERE I CAME FROM
AND WHAT I CAME FROM.

MY FAMILY, MY GRANDPARENTS WERE
RAISED IN THE FIELDS PICKING

COTTON AND MIGRATING AND
COULDN'T WRITE.

SO TO BE A WRITER, IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR ME TO HONOR THE

HISTORY THAT I COME FROM AND TO
KNOW THAT THOSE ARE THE

SHOULDERS THAT I STAND ON.
>> TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SAN

ANTONIO'S POET LAUREATE, YOU CAN
GO TO LAURIEGUERRERO.COM.

>> WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
DO YOU KNOW OF A GOOD STORY

YOU'D LIKE TO SEE AIRED ON
"ARTS"?

LET US KNOW BY E-MAILING US AT
ARTS@KLRN.ORG.

>> NEXT UP WE MEET A YOUNG
PAINTER IN PORTLAND, OREGON, WHO

IS MAKING A NAME FOR HERSELF AS
A GIFTED COLORIST.

REPORTER JESSICA MARTIN FOLLOWS
THE BUDDING ARTIST AS SHE MAKES

HER WAY THROUGH TOWN, POPPING
INTO NUMEROUS VENUES SHOWCASING

HER ART.
>> I LEARNED A LOT AT SCHOOL,

AND I FEEL LIKE IT WAS AWESOME.
AND I ALSO LEARNED -- I MEAN, I

HAD TEACHERS WHO LOOKED AT MY
WORK, AND THEY WERE LIKE THIS IS

YOUR VOMITING STATE.
THIS IS LIKE WHAT YOU'RE --

YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT OUT, JUST
GET IT OUT, LIKE PAINTINGS LIKE

THIS WHERE IT'S REALLY JUST
CRAZY AND ABSTRACT.

OKAY, SO THIS IS MY VOMITING
STAGE.

SO I'LL KEEP DOING THESE
PAINTINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

AND THEN I NEVER REALLY STOPPED.
LIKE THAT'S NOT -- LIKE THAT'S

KIND OF HOW I MAKE MY ART.
>> I DID IT WHEN I WAS PAINTING

ONE OF MY FRIENDS IN OUR STUDIO.
ALL THESE BITS OF CONVERSATION

ENDED UP IN HERE.
I REMEMBER BEING IN THE LIVING

ROOM, AND I WAS DRAWING THIS
BUNNY, I THINK.

I REMEMBER ANY DAD SEEING IT,
AND HE WAS LIKE, OH, PRETTY

GOOD.
MAYBE YOU'LL BE AN ARTIST.

ALBERTA STREET HAS BEEN REALLY,
REALLY GOOD TO ME AS AN ARTIST.

I FEEL LIKE I OWE IT A LOT OF
CREDIT.

HEY, THIS IS MY NEW PAINTING.
>> CUTE.

>> I THINK YOU'LL REALLY LIKE
THIS ONE.

>> HAPPY WITH, HAPPY, MY
FAVORITE.

>> I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE THAT
ONE.

>> YEAH.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO

PUT IT.
>> JENNIFER MERCEDE SELLS HER

WORK AT THE WOMEN'S CLOTHING
BOUTIQUE TUMBLEWEED AND THE

CHILDREN'S STORE GRASSHOPPER.
>> KARA, THE OWNER, SHE

DISCOVERED ME ON LAST THURSDAY.
I WAS SELLING LAST THURSDAY, AND

SHE REALLY LIKED MY WORK.
SO SHE INVITED ME TO COME AND

SHOW IN TUMBLEWEEDS FIRST, AND
ONCE I STARTED MAKING THE

GIRAFFE, SHE INVITED ME TO SHOW
AT GRASSHOPPER.

>> I WAS WALKING DOWN LAST
THURSDAY, AND IT JUST CAUGHT MY

EYE, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SO
COOL.

I NEVER HAD ART IN MY STORE.
I LEFT THAT TO THE GALLERIES,

AND I WAS LIKE, YOUR WORK IS SO
GOOD.

I JUST TOTALLY WANT IT IN MY
STORE.

SO WE JUST STARTED THERE, AND WE
JUST -- THE GIRAFFE JUST TOOK

OFF, LIKE IT WAS CRAZY.
WE COULDN'T EVEN KEEP THEM IN

STOCK, POOR GIRL.
>> I THINK IT'S LIKE THE MIX OF

KIND OF OF ABSTRACT, FUN,
SOMEWHAT ADULT ENERGY WITH THE

ANIMAL.
>> AND IT WASN'T JUST THE

SHOPPERS ON ALBERTA WHO
APPRECIATED THAT ENERGY.

JENNIFER SOLD THIS VERY LARGE
GIRAFFE AT THE CASCADE AIDS

PROJECT AUCTION.
>> I WAS IN THE CAPS AUCTION AT

THE HEIDI MCBRIDE GALLERY, AND
THAT WAS THE BIGGEST GIRAFFE I

EVER PAINTED.
I KIND OF DIDN'T KNOW WHO WOULD

REALLY WANT A BIG GIRAFFE LIKE
THAT IN THEIR HOUSE, BUT PEOPLE

LOVED IT.
>> SOON JENNIFER REALIZED SHE

NEEDED TO MAKE UP HER OWN RULES
OF PAINTING.

>> WHEN I STARTED PAINTING ON MY
OWN, I MADE UP THIS SET OF

RULES.
THIS IS LIKE PROGRAMS YOU WOULD

LIKE TO INSTALL IN YOUR
COMPUTER.

SO YOU CAN USE MY FINGERS, AND I
DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS.

OR THINGS THAT I COULD IGNORE,
SO LIKE I HAD TO PAINT BIG.

I HAD ALL THESE RULES I HAD TO
GET RID OF COMING FROM SCHOOL.

LIKE USING COLORED PENCILS.
OH, I FREED MYSELF UP TO USE

WHATEVER I WANT TO USE.
>> JENNIFER CONTINUED TO MOVE UP

ALBERTA STREET.
AT FRANCIS RESTAURANT, SHE

PAINTED THIS MURAL WITH FELLOW
ARTIST CHRIS HABERMAN.

EVENTUALLY, SHE MADE HER WAY TO
THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S LONG-RUNNING

GUARDINO GALLERY.
>> I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE THE

BEGINNING OF THE ART SCENE.
WHAT I FEEL ABOUT ALBERTA, IT

GIVES PEOPLE A LOT OF CHANCE TO
START, WHETHER IT'S SETTING UP

ON THE STREET AND SELLING FROM A
CARDBOARD TABLE OR APPROACHING

ONE OF THE GALLERIES OR COFFEE
SHOPS HERE.

I THINK THAT THAT'S GOOD.
I LIKE TO NURTURE THAT

CREATIVITY.
>> SETTING UP FOR LAST THURSDAY

WAS REALLY AWESOME WHEN I FIRST
MOVED HERE.

JUST A GREAT WAY TO PACK
YOURSELF UP, GET OUT THERE, SEE

WHO LIKES IT.
I REMEMBER SELLING MY FIRST

PIECE FOR $200 THERE, JUST THE
FACT OF IT HAPPENING, LIKE

SOMEONE BUYING MY WORK ON THE
STREET FOR THAT KIND OF -- FOR

ME, THAT WAS A BIG SALE.
SO IT JUST WAS REALLY I CAN DO

THIS.
>> I LIKE JENNIFER'S CREATIVITY.

I LIKE PAINTINGS, AND IT ALWAYS
IMPRESSES ME WHEN I SEE SOMEONE

MANIPULATE PAINT REALLY WELL.
I THINK JENNIFER DOES THIS

REALLY WELL.
>> I REMEMBER WALKING DOWN

ALBERTA STREET AND ALWAYS SEEING
THIS GALLERY AND LOOKING IN THE

WINDOWS AND THINKING HOW AMAZING
IT IS AND HOW THE ART IS SO

BEAUTIFUL, AND IF I COULD JUST
SHOW HERE, IT WOULD BE AWESOME.

I GOT UP THE COURAGE TO COME
MEET WITH DONNA AND SHOW HER MY

WORK.
>> JENNIFER CAME TO SEE ME.

THAT'S ALL IT TAKES IS SOMEONE
WALKS IN THE DOOR AND SAY, HEY,

I'VE GOT SOME ARTWORK.
I'LL GIVE ANYBODY A SHOT.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A
RESUME.

I JUST HAVE TO SEE SOMETHING IN
THE ART AND RESPOND TO IT.

>> I DIDN'T GET A STRAIGHT
ANSWER RIGHT AWAY OF THE I GOT

INVITED TO BE PART OF THE LITTLE
THINGS SHOW, AND I REMEMBER

GETTING THAT IN THE MAIL.
I WAS LIKE YES! IT WAS LIKE THE

BIGGEST EXCITEMENT.
I TOLD EVERYBODY THAT I WAS IN

THE LITTLE THINGS SHOW, WHICH IS
A CHRISTMAS SHOW THEY HAVE EVERY

YEAR THAT EVERYONE MAKES LIKE
REALLY LITTLE PIECES OF ART.

I JUST FELT SO HONORED TO BE A
PART OF IT.

IT JUST FELT LIKE A BREAKTHROUGH
FOR ME INTO THE GALLERY.

NOW, I'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A SHOW
THERE.

I'LL SHOW MY WORK AND SELL IT,
AND THEN I'LL HAVE A SHOW.

NOT ONLY THAT BUT A BREAK
THROUGH FOR MY CAREER AS AN

ARTIST LIKE, OKAY, A GALLERY HAS
ACCEPTED ME.

NOW I CAN MAKE THE NEXT STEP.
>> I THINK ONE OF MY FAVORITE

THINGS ABOUT PAINTING IS MAKING
COLOR COMBINATIONS, JUST SEEING

WHAT COMES UP.
LAST THURSDAY IS KEY, AND

THERE'S JUST SO MANY COFFEE
SHOPS THAT ARE FRIENDLY.

YOU TAKE A COUPLE PHOTOS, SHOW
IT TO THE OWNER, AND THEY SAY,

WHEN DO YOU WANT TO SHOW?
IS WHEN DO YOU WANT TO SHOW?

YOU FEEL LIKE THIS ROCK STAR
BECAUSE YOU'RE SHOWING ALL OVER

THE PLACE.
I'VE SHOWED IN A BUNCH OF PLACES

ON THIS STREET, AND IT'S JUST A
GREAT PLACE, LIKE DONNA SAYS, TO

START.
>> SO NEXT TIME YOU'RE ON

ALBERTA, LOOK FOR JENNIFER
DELIVERING HER ART BY BIKE ON

THE STREET THAT HOLDS A SPECIAL
PLACE IN HER HEART.

IT'S THE STREET THAT HELPED
LAUNCH HER CAREER AS A PAINTER.

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS YOUNG
TALENT, YOU CAN VISIT HER

WEBSITE AT JENNIFERMERCEDE.COM.
>> WE ARE BACK WITH TAMMY.

I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.
>> I MISSED YOU TOO.

>> YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR SO LONG,
IT FEELS LIKE.

DON'T EVER LEAVE ME AGAIN.
>> I PROMISE, ASIA, NEVER, NEVER

AGAIN.
>> YOU WENT TO THE CANADIAN,

THAT'S SO FUN.
>> WE WENT TO THE GRAND

CANADIAN, THE GREAT WHITE NORTH.
TORONTO WAS ABSOLUTELY

WONDERFUL.
WE GOT SOME NICE COOL DAYS.

SORRY, SAN ANTONIO, BUT IT WAS
REALLY, REALLY GREAT.

>> YOU WERE CHEATING ON US.
>> WE WERE CHEATING ON YOU.

WE HAD THE BEST TIME IN TORONTO.
THEY HAD THE LUMINATO FESTIVAL

GOING ON WHILE I WAS THERE.
I EVEN GOT TO MEET RUFUS

WAINWRIGHT.
>> YOU ARE A CELEBRITY.

>> SAW HIM IN THERE WITH A SHOW
WITH JUST ABOUT 40 PEOPLE.

WE'LL HAVE MORE TO SHARE ON THAT
AT A LATER DAY.

IT REALLY WAS FANTASTIC TO SEE
THE ART SCENE AND ANOTHER MAJOR

CITY.
MADE ME APPRECIATE SAN ANTONIO.

>> WOW.
>> WE'RE NOT NEW YORK.

WE'RE NOT TORONTO, BUT WE ARE
SAN ANTONIO, AND WE'RE VERY

UNIQUE.
WE HAVE SO MUCH TO ENJOY RIGHT

HERE IN THE CITY.
WE'RE LUCKY.

>> THAT'S SO COOL.
CAN YOU TELL ME ONE THING THAT

REALLY STOOD OUT TO YOU AS A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TORONTO AND

SAN ANTONIO IN TERMS OF THE ART
SCENE.

>> THE SIZE OF IT.
IT'S JUST HUGE.

THEY REALLY HAVE TREMENDOUS
BUDGETS TO WORK WITH BECAUSE

THEY --
>> THEY'RE FUNDED.

>> THEY ARE FUNDED BY THE STATE.
SO THEY HAVE DIFFERENT BUDGETARY

RELEASES THAT WE DON'T HAVE.
EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH BIGGER.

>> WE WILL SOON.
>> WE WILL.

>> JUST KEEP WORBING ON IT.
>> WE CONTINUE TO WORK FOR IT.

>> WE WILL STRIVE TOWARDS THAT.
>> WE WON'T BE GETTING A $15

MILLION BUDGET FOR ANY OF OUR
FESTIVALS ANY TIME SOON.

>> BUT WE WOULD LIKE THAT.
>> WE WOULD.

>> IT'S HOT OUTSIDE.
EVERYBODY IS LOOKING FOR A GREAT

PLACE TO BE RIGHT NOW.
THERE IS SO MUCH HAPPENING IN

ART.
HOW CAN PEOPLE POP OUT OF THE

HEAT AND GET INTO THE ART SCENE?
>> IF YOU'RE READY TO STOP

BAKING, THERE'S LOTS OF PLACING
TO GET IN OUT OF THE HEAT.

I WOULD START WITH THE McNAY.
THE McNAY IS AN ABSOLUTELY

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PLACE FOR
FAMILIES.

COMING IN SEPTEMBER, THEY'VE HAD
A BIG RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE NATIONAL GALLERY IS TOURING
INTIMATE IMPRESSIONISM.

THAT'S COMING IN SEPTEMBER.
FOR NOW, WE STILL HAVE BEAUTY

REIGNS, WHICH IS UP THROUGH
AUGUST 17th, CURATED BY THE

WONDERFUL RENEE BARRIO.
>> I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

>> HE'S A DOLL.
HE WROTE A GREAT ARTICLE THAT

WAS PUBLISHED IN THE REPORT.
CHECK IT OUT.

ALSO, THE MATISSE AND PICASSO
SHOW ALSO THERE RIGHT NOW

THROUGH AUGUST 10th.
WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THAT,

IT'S NOT A TOURING SHOW.
IT'S ALL CULLED FROM THE McNAYS'

COLLECTIONS, WHICH IS VERY
IMPRESSIVE.

IF YOU'RE FEELING AMBITIOUS ON
SUNDAY, GO TO THE MUSEUM, 3:00,

THERE'S A GALLERY TALK.
THAT'S ALWAYS A TREMENDOUS

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN A LITTLE
BIT MORE.

AT THE SAM.
A, THEY HAVE THE TOURING MATISSE

SHOW.
OPENING THIS WEEKEND AT THE

BILLHOUSE IS HOT.
IT'S ARTISTS' RESPONSES TO

GLOBAL WARMING IN SAN ANTONIO.
SO THE BILLHOUSE ALWAYS PREVENTS

MULTIMEDIA THOUGHT-PROVOKING
EVENTS.

THIS IS ART.
THIS IS POETRY.

OPENING AT BILLHOUSE ON FRIDAY
EVENING.

AT SALADIA'S ON SATURDAY, THE
MAGNIFICENT ED CEVEDRA OPENING A

SHOW "THAT AIN'T NECESSARILY SO"
RUNNING THROUGH AUGUST 24th.

RECENTLY OPENED AT THE RUIZ
HEALY GALLERY.

PATRICIA RUIZ HEALY IS ONE OF
THE MOST DYNAMIC GALLERISTS IN

SAN ANTONIO RIGHT NOW.
CHECK THIS OUT.

THIS IS CALLED PAPER, PENCIL,
INK.

IT IS A SHOW FEATURING MORE THAN
20 ARTISTS.

SO HER GALLERY HAS THAT.
THAT'S THROUGH AUGUST 30th.

AT R.E.M., THIS IS ONE I HAVEN'T
SEEN YET.

I'M VERY CURIOUS ABOUT IT.
IT'S CALLED AS A MATTER OF FACT,

GRAFFITI FOR CIVILIZED
TRANQUILLITY.

IT'S A JAPANESE ARTIST, AND THE
WORK IS -- ENGLISH ISN'T HER

FIRST LANGUAGE.
OF COURSE, JAPANESE IS.

SO THE ARTWORK IS ABOUT HER
STRUGGLES AND MISAPPROPRIATIONS

OF LANGUAGE, AND IT JUST
SOUNDS --

>> I LOVE THAT.
>> THE WORK IS EXQUISITE, AND

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO
SEEING IT IN GREATER DETAIL AT

R.E.M.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE'VE GOT A

RESET ON OPENING.
THEY'VE GOT A MID-OPENING, WHICH

IS KIND OF INTERESTING, FOR
SATURDAY IN AUGUST.

CHECK THAT OUT.
THEIR OPENINGS ARE ALWAYS GREAT.

AT SOUTHWEST SCHOOL OF ART,
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL LOCAL

RESOUR
RESOURCE, THEIR ALL SCHOOL SHOW.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE
WHAT THE STUDENTS ARE DOING AT

SOUTHWEST SCHOOL OF ART, HOW
THEY'RE INSPIRED BY THEIR

AMAZING FACULTY.
THEY HAVE A VERY, VERY ACTIVE

ACTIVE, PROACTIVE FACULTY THAT
REALLY HAVE THE ABILITY NOT ONLY

TO BE ARTISTS THAT ARE STRONG
AND ACTIVE IN THEIR OWN RIGHT,

BUT THEY ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PASS IT ON.

SO THEY REALLY ARE A UNIQUE CREW
OF PEOPLE OVER THERE THAT WE

HAVE ACCESS TO IN SAN ANTONIO.
GO CHECK THAT OUT, ABSOLUTELY.

GUADALUPE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER,
A SHOW CALLED FLAT LAND THAT I'M

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING.
I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.

AND, OF COURSE, ART SPACE.
THEY HAVE SUMMER RESIDENCIES AND

JUST OPENED THEIR RESIDENT SHOW.
SO YOU HAVE THAT TO SEE.

>> THAT'S A LOT.
>> AND IT'S ALL IN THE AIR

CONDITIONING.
>> WHICH THE BEST PLACE TO BE

RIGHT NOW.
>> FORGET THE ART.

IT'S ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONING.
>> IT'S ABOUT THE ART, TAMMY.

SHE MEANT ABOUT THE ART.
>> IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ART.

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE ART.
AND AIR CONDITIONING.

>> TAMMY.
NOW, LISTEN, I'M SO EXCITED TO

HEAR ABOUT WHAT'S COMING UP IN
THE FALL AND ALL THE STUFF AT

THE TOBIN.
ARE YOU GOING TO TELL US ABOUT

THAT NEXT TIME?
>> WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE

TOBIN IN THE FALL.
WE HAVE A SERIES OF ARTICLES

SLATED FOR THE REVARD REPORT,
WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE

CONCENTRATING ON THE RESIDENT
COMPANIES, LOOKING AT BALLET SAN

ANTONIO, REALLY REALLY STEPPING
UP THEIR GAME.

LOOKING AT ATTIC REP, SO MUCH
HAPPENING.

THOSE GUYS JUST GOT BACK FROM
INDIA.

>> THEY'RE SO COOL.
>> I CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO THEM.

>> SO MUCH GREAT STUFF.
>> CHECK TAMMY OUT, OF COURSE.

>> WE WILL BE FOLLOWING IT.
>> WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

>> I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
NO MORE BIG TRIPS, NOT FOR A

WHILE.
>> DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN.

>> I PROMISE.
>> SEE YOU NEXT TIME, TAMMY.

>> YOU CAN READ MORE FROM TAMMY
ON HER ART BLOG FA.COM.

OR IN THE ARTS AND CULTURE
SECTION AT THE REVARDREPORT.COM.

>> TO ADD YOUR EVENT TO THE ARTS
CALENDAR.

NEXT UP, WE TRAVEL TO COLUMBUS,
OHIO, WHERE WE CHASE MYSTERY AND

INTRIGUE WITH THE LEGENDARY
SHERLOCK HOLMES.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBIT
CELEBRATING THE FICTIONAL

DETECTIVE AND THE BRILLIANT
WRITER WHO CREATED HIM HAS COME

TO TOWN.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

>> A LOT OF WAYS, I THINK THAT
SHERLOCK HOLMES WAS ONE OF THE

FIRST SUPERHEROES.
HE'S THE SUPERHERO THAT YOU CAN

HOPE TO BE.
I MOST LIKELY AM NOT GOING TO

WAKE UP TOMORROW AND BE BITTEN
BY A RADIOACTIVE SPIDER AND BE

ABLE TO CLIMB A WALL, BUT IF I
USE MY BRAIN AND MY POWERS OF

DEDUCTION, I CAN BECOME MORE
LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES.

I THINK FOLKS REALLY ENJOY THAT
ELEMENT OF THE CHARACTER.

THIS IS A 10,000 SQUARE FOOT
EXHIBITION THAT IS ALL ABOUT

SHERLOCK HOLMES, THE CHARACTER,
THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHARACTER

FROM AN IDEA IN CONAN DOYLE'S
MIND ALL THE WAY UP TO PRESENT

DAY, AND A LOOK AT THE FORENSIC
SCIENCE THAT HOLMES USED IN

ORDER TO COME UP WITH HIS
DEDUCTIONS.

VISITORS WALKING INTO THIS
EXHIBIT ARE IMMEDIATELY GOING TO

BE GREETED FROM BEAUTIFUL
ARTIFACTS FROM THE CONAN DOYLE

ESTATE, INCLUDING ACTUAL PIECES
OF THE HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT OF

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES AS
WELL AS BEAUTIFUL ART THAT

APPEARED IN BOTH THE AMERICAN
AND BRITISH VERSIONS OF SHERLOCK

NOVELS.
AND THEN AS THEY CONTINUE ON,

THEY'RE GOING TO GET TO TRY
THEIR HAND AT BECOMING SHERLOCK

HOLMES.
WHEN FOLKS COME AND SEE

EXHIBITION, THEY RECEIVE THEIR
CRIME JOURNAL THEY GET TO TAKE

WITH THEM THROUGHOUT THE
EXHIBITION.

THIS IS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO
RECORD THE RESULTS OF THEIR

STUDIES THAT THEY LOOK AT.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE EXAMINING

THINGS LIKE CODES INSIDE OF A
NEWSPAPER.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE CHANCE
TO LOOK AT BALLISTICS, THE WAY

THE BULLET TRAVELS, LOOK AT
DIFFERENT PLANT SAMPLES AND SEE

IF THE PLANT SAMPLES ARE
POISONOUS OR NOT.

YOU GET TO LOOK AT THE WAY BOOTS
MAKE TRACKS OVER SAND.

BOOTS TRACKED OVER THE SAND AS
THEY'RE BEING DRUG LOOK VERY

DIFFERENT THAN BOOTS WALKING
BACK AND FORTH OVER THE SAND.

THAT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO USE
YOUR KEEN EYE AND YOUR ABILITY

TO OBSERVE THE SCENE IN ORDER TO
TELL IF YOU CAN REALLY DECIDE

WHAT'S GOING ON.
IT IS SUCH A FANTASTIC

COMBINATION OF HANDS-ON SCIENCE
AND REAL CHER CAN LOING

ARTIFACTS.
WE ARE ALL ABOUT HANS-ON

SCIENCE.
SO ANY EXHIBITION WHERE FOLKS

CAN GET IN AND MANIPULATE THE
SCIENCE, THE FORENSIC SCIENCE WE

TALK ABOUT INSIDE THE
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF

SHERLOCK HOLMES IS FANTASTIC FOR
US.

THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND PLACE
WHERE THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN IN

THE COUNTRY, AND ALSO WE ARE
VERY FORTUNATE THIS IS GOING TO

BE THE EXHIBITION'S ONLY STOP
EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI FOR THE

NEXT FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.
IT'S PRETTY EXCLUSIVE TO BE ABLE

TO HAVE THIS HERE IN COLUMBUS,
OHIO.

>> HI.
I'M HERE WITH ADAM ROCHA.

HE'S THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
THE FA FILM FESTIVAL, AND THIS

>> NOW, WHAT CAN THE GENERAL

PUBLIC GET OUT OF THE FESTIVAL
LIKE THIS?

WHAT IS IN IT FOR THEM?
>> SURE.

>> OBVIOUSLY, IT'S AN
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR

STUDENTS AND FOR FILM MAKERS,
BUT WHAT DOES AN AVERAGE PERSON

GET OUT OF THE FILM FESTIVAL?
>> LET ME SAY THIS IS A FUN

EVENT.
>> I CAN TELL.
