In less than two weeks, Nashvillians will be treated to “the light
side of art and film” at the 6th annual Artlightenment festival.
“The light side of art and film” is the theme for the 2014 Artlightenment
festival which will take place Nov 13-15 at the Church of Scientology Celebrity
Centre Nashville. The festival will showcase underwater photographer Christy
Lee Rogers, actress and filmmaker Carla Christina Contreras, celebrity
photographer Raeanne Rubenstein, screenwriter Annie Kananack, and fashion
designer Elisabeth Donaldson of Monarch Clothing. Each is bringing a unique
element to the show and will deliver a special presentation during the
festival.
Underwater photographer Christy Lee Rogers will deliver a seminar prior
to the show titled “Making a Career as an Artist,” on Nov 13. Rogers’ work has
been described as, “…undeniably contemporary yet also timeless,” by writer
Duncan Beebe for Eyemazing Magazine.
Rogers’ seminar will be followed by Carla Christina Contreras with her
seminar “Secrets to a Long and Successful Acting Career.” Contreras was born
and raised in Hollywood and has been acting since the age of three.
On Nov 14, celebrity photographer Raeanne Rubenstein will deliver a
talk on “The Funny Side of Art and Film,” which echoes the central theme of the
2014 Artlightenment showcase. Rubenstein
has worked with some of the biggest names in movies, music and pop culture such
as Andy Warhol, French director Francois Truffaut and iconic singers Jimi
Hendrix and Jim Morrison, among others.
Screenwriter Annie Kananack will deliver the workshop “From Screenplay
to Big Screen,” on Nov 15 to encourage future screenwriters. Kananack says, “I
am most alive and fulfilled when I’m writing,” and takes her inspiration from the
films of the 30s and 40s as they are very character driven.
The seminars have been an integral part of the festival since its
inception, where successful artists pass on their knowledge to others. Robyn Morshead is founder of the annual art
show. An artist and filmmaker herself, she gears the event toward the
advancement of every artist and filmmaker who participates or attends.
The festival will take place Nov 13-15 at the Church of Scientology
Celebrity Centre Nashville, 1130 8th Ave S, and all are welcome. For more
