Myers and Brenner named WVIA Artists of the Week

James M. Coughlin Jr. Sr. High School is proud to announce that Adam Myers and Bobby Brenner have been honored by being named “WVIA Artists of the Week”.

Adam Myers has been named the WVIA Performing Artist of the Week and Bobby Brenner has been named the WVIA Visual Artist of the Week for the week of Sunday, May 7th through Saturday, May 13th .

In addition to being named Artist of the week, Bobby Brenner has also been named a top 10 finalist for Visual Artist of the Year.

This campaign is designed to call 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 them for their artistic achievement. The students will be featured across all 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.

WVIA Public Media is a catalyst, convener and educator, using media, partnerships, powerful ideas and programs to improve lives and advance the best attributes of an enlightened society.
