— Delaware Valley High School students Jonathan Outwater and Reilley Weems were named “WVIA Artists of the Week," for the week of Sunday, March 12, through Saturday, March 18.
The public radio and TV station, which is the PBS and NPR affiliate for Northeastern Pennsylvania, named Jonathan its Performing Artist of the Week and Reilley its Visual Artist of the Week.
The station's campaign calls attention to high school students who have excelled in the study of the arts. The partnering high school selects two students, one visual artist and one performing artist, who are then interviewed at the WVIA Public Media studios for a digital video vignette.
The “Artist of the Week” vignette showcases the student, high school, and school district and salutes their artistic achievement. The students will be featured across WVIA television, radio and digital platforms for one week, and the accompanying vignette will be available to watch on wvia.org and pbs.org for one year. Selected artists will then be in the running to compete for “WVIA Artist of the Year,” which is announced in May.
