CHIN Radio producing the last live TV variety show on the Toronto dial


Old Time Radio Live on TV. Every Sunday it is the Festival Italiano Di Johnny Lombardi Show on Toronto's CITY TV.

It is old time radio on television. Little bits of live music. A few jokes. An interview here, a promo there. Didn't like that last piece? Wait till the commercial is over and we will try again!
On Sunday I took two leading members of the Italian Canadian business community onto television via a radio show. The men are chairing a charity evening later this month. Group of Seven art from the McMichael hung beside Italian-Canadian landscapes in the Toronto Columbia Centre. Proceeds are to be split 50/50.
One of the sponsors of the evening is Lennie Lombardi, the owner of CHIN Radio. After buying a table he offered to help promote the event, his radio station has a live TV show every Sunday - he'd put my guests on after the first Chrysler Fiat is introduced (on the sidewalk in front of the College St station) and before the opera singer sang her second song.
For the past 25-years CHIN radio has turned their Little Italy street level lobby into a TV studio. A restaurant and magazine shop feed into the lobby and College Street is always busy after Church.
It is live TV that is currently broadcast on CITY TV in Toronto. Patrons from the cafe and newsstand customers wander in and out. The really curious have to be waved off set. People on the street press their faces against the big glass doors to see what Lenny has on TV this week.
Who knows? It is talk. It is product pushing and there is no end to the live entertainment.
When I came into the lobby studio (squeezing past the new Fiat that was all but blocking the front door), I was not sure if it was a show in English or in Italian. Some people spoke in English, others answered in Italian. Some spoke both, all at once. Beautiful Andrea Trentadue is more ring master than host. She is able to keep all the balls in the air at once, no matter what language is being spoke.
There was a friend of Lenny who has a Wizard Magic and Comic Book Show at the CNE in Toronto and in Hamilton. He put on a blue hair wig/hat and waved a spinning brightly coloured laser wand at the cameras. He wore a-way-to-tight bright blue T shirt. He brought the world's shyest magician with him. As soon as they did their 5-minute promo, a folk trio in traditional clothing from Sicily played a guitar, accordion and a tin flute. They were followed immediately by a traditional female opera singer singing Ava Maria. There wasn't a dry eye in the wings.
Cut to commercial, then it is time for MP Julian Fantino to head outside and welcome the first Chrysler Fiat to Canada. It is cute. Cars on the street honk, wave and yell encouragement at the former police chief.
Commercial. My guests run from the street back into the lobby. Perched in bar stools in front the front door (still with the Fiat in the background) they talk about the beauty of the Group of Seven and the good work that is done at the Columbus Centre. Interview over ... cue the Opera Singer!
It is crazy. It is non-stop. There are lots of hangers on, standing along the sides of the lobby. Almost everyone is male. Almost everyone is steaming towards 70. Most are too busy networking to watch the actual entertainment. There is a lot of male-to-male cheek kissing!
I have no idea what happened. Who cares. Let's book 'em Danno for the next open Sunday!

Dr Dickenson moves from Federal Museum in Winnipeg to Provincial Gallery in Ontario


McMichael Canadian Art Collection Announces Appointment of New Executive Director and CEO, Dr. Victoria Dickenson


March 22, 2011 Kleinburg, ON – The McMichael Canadian Art Collection announced today that Victoria Dickenson, PhD, FCMA, has been appointed as its new Executive Director and CEO as well as President of the McMichael Canadian Art Foundation effective April 18, 2011.
Dr. Dickenson’s appointment was the culmination of an exhaustive search conducted in Canada, the U.S. and abroad to find candidates in the arts, culture, business or government arenas who had outstanding leadership skills.
“Dr. Dickenson is among Canada’s best known and most respected museum professionals,” said Upkar Arora, Chair of the McMichael Board of Trustees, and head of the Search Committee of eight. “Our search process identified her as the best candidate who had the requisite experience, passion and capabilities to build on the outstanding assets of the McMichael. Her previous work in gallery management, exhibition development and programming, fundraising, as well as her innovative thinking speaks for itself, and we are thrilled to have her take on this leadership role at the McMichael. She was our unanimous choice.”
Dickenson, a Canadian citizen and fluent in both French and English, is leaving her position as Chief Knowledge Officer at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to assume her new role at the McMichael. Dickenson has a distinguished curatorial and gallery-management career including serving as Executive Director at the prestigious McCord Museum of Canadian History in Montreal (1998-2009).
At the McCord she managed to increase the Museum’s operating revenues through a combination of grants, fundraising and self-generated revenues, working with all levels of government as well as the private sector. Under Dickenson’s leadership, the McCord was nominated and received numerous awards from the museum and information sectors in Canada and the U.S. Dickenson is an acknowledged leader in the application of information technology to museology and championed a multi-party project which became the foundation for the McCord’s global web presence that continues to attract over two million visits per year.
“My goal in coming to the McMichael,” said Dickenson, “is to make the institution stronger – locally, provincially, nationally and internationally – to reach our local communities, the tourists that come to the GTA and the visitors that we reach virtually, so that more people can experience for themselves what an outstanding institution the McMichael is and what an important part it plays in our Canadian history and heritage, today, tomorrow and for decades to come. The McMichael is blessed with such wonderful assets – the gift by Robert and Signe McMichael of the works of art and the stunning grounds, the dedicated and passionate employees and volunteers, an engaged Board of Trustees and the Foundation, and a committed and supportive Ministry of Tourism and Culture. I am confident we can channel these rich assets into a bold new vision for the gallery, and we can create an outstanding institution that not only speaks to Canadians, but also speaks to the world.”

Special photo taken for Vaughan Today (well actually on Sunday)

ONE OF A SERIES PICTURES TAKEN AT THE McMICHAEL GALLERY IN KLIENBURG, ONTARIO FOR COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

It was snowing really bad so it was not a shock to find out that Vaughan Today couldn't free up a reporter to attend a media preview for the newly installed Norman Rockwell exhibition at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. They were willing to run something "good" about the show, but what?
It was Sunday, the kick-off to March Break and I had this picture taken exclusively for Vaughan Today. The picture, by McMichael volunteer (and professional photographer) Jason Hashimoto shows 20-year old Alexandria Maida, assuming a pose for the camera made famous by Norman Rockwell in his triple self- portrait. It shows the late American aritst painting a painting of himself using a large mirror.
All day Sunday visitors to the gallery were invited to dress up like a Norman Rockwell painting. Hashimoto took their masterpieces and the gallery emailed the pictures to the visitors. 20-minutes before quiting time I convinced Hashimoto to try his hand at copying the master. Ms Maida, a University student and weekend guide at the gallery, agreed to be the model.
Did it work? "Brilliant Steve,Thanks" wrote editor Dan Hoddinott. Within hours of receiving the photograph it was posted on their website. Did get a call from a competing media wanted to know why they didn't get a copy too?

Promised to get Hashimoto to take another masterpiece just for them the next time he was at the gallery with his Cannon and lighting kit. Could be a new career!

The Eyes Have It For Norman Rockwell Show At The McMichael



In Search of Norman Rockwell's America
MARCH 12 to APRIL 25, 2011


For Immediate Release

First Exhibition to Compare Norman Rockwell's Art with
Photojournalist Kevin Rivoli's Images: 'Rockwell's America' Exists


February 28, 2011 Kleinburg, ON - In Search of Norman Rockwell's America, a poignant exhibition that pairs the work of American icon Norman Rockwell with images by award-winning photojournalist Kevin Rivoli, is on view at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection from March 12 through April 25, 2011.

Norman Rockwell's illustrations populated covers of The Saturday Evening Post, the American magazine well-read amongst Canadians, especially after World War I when imported American magazines were outselling domestic magazines eight-to-one in subscriptions and newsstands across Canada.

Unprecedented in concept, this exhibition features a selection of thirty-five black and white photographs alongside original Rockwell paintings, drawings, and lithographs of similar imagery, forming a captivating comparison exhibition of seventy works. Included in the exhibition is the never-before-published painting The Golfer, a rare subject for Rockwell and one of his earlier works.

Kevin Rivoli began taking "slices of life" photographs twenty years ago while working as a photojournalist - images of family, community, patriotism, milestones, and people enjoying simple pleasures. It was not until many years later that he realized their similarity to Rockwell's work, not only in mood and subject, but often in composition as well.

Rockwell, who was and remains immensely popular in both Canada and the United States, was often dismissed by critics who claimed his work was too idealistic, sentimental, and nostalgic. One critic alleged that Rockwell created "an America that never was and never will be." Rockwell disagreed, saying he showed "the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed."

Rivoli's photographs disprove critics' claims that Rockwell created imaginary scenes. In Search of Norman Rockwell's America shows us the same world Rockwell painted, an America that is still alive and well. Rivoli's photographs are of spontaneously occurring moments of everyday life - most subjects were completely unaware that they were being photographed. These photos are true to Rockwell's form - storytelling in a single, spontaneous frame that captures a complete picture and celebrates the ordinary.In Search of Norman Rockwell's America introduces Norman Rockwell and his work to a new generation, while providing his existing fans an opportunity to reconnect with this American icon. By pairing these celebrated, familiar works of art to photographs of real people, the exhibition reminds us to look for those moments of happiness, pride, mischief, courage, and patriotism that Rockwell captured and became known as "Rockwell's America."

The two-year tour is comprised of many loans from major institutions and private collections. Norman Rockwell paintings, prints, and drawings are on loan from Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY; Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, NY; Midwest Museum of American Art, Elkhart, IN; National Scouting Museum, Irving, TX; United States Golf Association Museum, Far Hills, NJ; and Ingrid Bond Fine Arts, Santa Fe, NM.

The companion book for the international tour, published by Simon & Schuster and also titled In Search of Rockwell's America, includes inspiring quotes and anecdotes of Rockwell's' paintings and Rivoli's photographs.

In Search of Norman Rockwell's America is organized by Kevin and Michele Rivoli in collaboration with International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC. International Arts & Artists in Washington, DC, is a non-profit arts service organization dedicated to increasing cross-cultural understanding and exposure to the arts internationally, through exhibitions, programs, and services to artists, arts institutions, and the public. Visit www.artsandartists.org.

Kevin Rivoli is an award-winning photojournalist who has photographed everyone from professional sports stars to presidents. But his favourite subjects have always been ordinary people doing ordinary things. When he's not working for one of several national media outlets, he continues to pursue and develop personal endeavours that include several soon-to-be published works as well as a line of licensed products that feature his images. To learn more about Kevin and his work, visit www.kevinrivoli.com.
