EAC Friday Feature: Anthony Morelli

Friday Feb 3rd, 2023

Erie Arts & Culture is proud to present this week's Friday Feature! Anthony Morelli has done a marvelous job with maintaining the Comedy scene in Erie, Pennsylvania. I was able to get a glimpse into what prompts him to stay consistent and driven in his craft, all while keeping us laughing and entertained in the process. Taking a nod from past greats, Anthony hones his skill sets all while remaining humble in the pursuit of success. It's inspiring to learn his story, and I had the honor of doing just that.

Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Recognizes Erie Folk Artists with Grants

Friday Feb 3rd, 2023

Each year the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts offers up to $4000 for a master folk artist to teach their tradition within their community. Folk arts can come from ethnic groups (like Amish quilts or Nepali Tamang drumming) or geographic regions (like Appalachian square dancing) or occupational groups (like fly tying or decoy carving). What all folk arts have in common is that they are passed down from one generation to another in non-academic settings. 

 

Erie Arts & Culture is pleased to announce that two Erie based artists received an Apprenticeship award in September. Each will spend a year working intensively with a mentee. David Kambowa, a composer and multi-instrumentalist, is teaching the musical traditions of the African Pentecostal church to Jackson Kabarole.
