Special Event Highlight
A Podcast with British Filmmaker Phil Grabsky and SJIMA Assistant Director Wendy Smith
During the October 2024 FH Film Festival, SJIMA was given the opportunity to do a podcast called Painting of the Week with British filmmaker Phil Grabsky.
In town for the premiere of his film Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers, Grabsky attended a filmmakers reception at SJIMA and became enamored with the artwork on the walls by artist Alan Magee. He approached SJIMA about doing an interview for his podcast, featuring one of Magee's works, and we said yes!
Please take a listen as Wendy Smith, Assistant Director of SJIMA, talks with Phil about SJIMA, Alan Magee and her favorite artwork by Magee, titled Genesis."
