From 8 - 10p.m. on D.I.T. Radio this Wednesday, "Rozco" will be In-Studio! For quite some time, Jeremy Provchy has been playing music, however, he is better recognized by his nickname "Rozco". Trying to escape the corporate aspect that has tainted the music scene, Jeremy prefers to play music in the company of friends at house shows or D.I.Y. spaces. Rozco's songs were written with the intent to share a story or a piece of himself in an intimate setting with anyone who is willing to listen.
Kent’s Art Scene Fights for Spot in New City Vision
On a sunny afternoon in early March, a lengthy debate ensued inside the FJKluth Art Gallery. It was between the gallery’s owner, Frederick John Kluth, and Kent artist, Robert Wood.
Both men’s voices bounced off the hardwood floors of the gallery space and were absorbed by the framed paintings and racks of antique knickknacks. The hot button issue that had the guys so revved was how art, both the business and creative sides, fit into the Kent community landscape.
“I wanted to have a place to exhibit paintings,” Kluth said. “I thought people would work with me. But the normal gallery art plan doesn’t work in Kent.”
Kluth said he just wants to get decent art into the community, but it’s difficult because many artists aren’t cooperative.
“Some artists in Kent want me to clear my gallery, put only their stuff on the walls, have a big party, sell the paintings and give them the money,” Kluth said. “But artists in Kent don’t want to pay a commission. I cannot afford to do that.”
The debate picked up steam when Kluth asked Wood how much money Wood would give him if he sold one of his paintings for $1,000.
“Notice, how he avoids the question,” Kluth said.
“Well, you have to actually show the painting for at least a month, you have to have a real show” Wood rebutted.
“A month, that painting has been here for years,” Kluth replied.
“But it’s not on display, it’s covered up,” Wood pointed out.
“Well I’m not going to show it to anybody unless you give me a commission,” Kluth said.
