KZSM — Celebrating our creative community

Sunday, March 7, 2021

KZSM.org proudly offers programming that expresses the wide-ranging imagination and diversity of our vibrant community. Our newest broadcast, “Creative Corner,” airs from 6-7 p.m. on the first Friday of every month. Hosted by Mandi Miller, it showcases the San Marcos Art League, the oldest arts organization in San Marcos. “We talk about who is doing what in our community in the art scene, and how diverse it really is,” Miller explains.

In the first half hour of the show, she interviews the artist of the month. “We talk with the artists about their inspirations, and about some of the things that got them started doing their work,” she says. “Every artist has a different story behind what they do.”

The second half hour of “Creator’s Corner” features a local musician who has performed at Art Squared, the League’s lively art market that takes place on the Square on the Second Saturday of each month, March-December. Popular local musician Tracy Weinberg, a member of the Art League’s Board of Directors, coordinates the music portion of “Creator’s Corner.” The January broadcast featured his witty, folk-inspired original songs.

Miller addresses the challenge of presenting a visual art on the radio by creating a short video preview of each featured artist before the broadcast. “I film the artist in their studio, or their workspace, wherever that might be.” The videos are available at https:// www.facebook.com/SanMarcosArtLeague/videos or by searching for San Marcos Art League on YouTube.

The featured artist for the month of March is Jennifer Epperson, a San Marcos local whose works tell stories about transformation, feminism and much more through her unique, abstract style. You can see her work at thestudio61.com and at the San Marcos Art Center. March’s featured musicians for Creator’s Corner are Sasha K.A. and Chris Peterson, two talented folk singer/songwriters who are set to perform at the Art Squared arts market on March 13. Tune in March 12, 6-7 p.m., for a preview of their live performance.

Like KZSM.org, “Creator’s Corner” celebrates the qualities that make our community unique. “When people think of San Marcos,” she reflects, “they think of the charm that goes with it, and that wouldn’t be possible without the arts community.”
