Paley on Park Avenue

By Norm Silverstein ~ Posted Tue, 05/21/2013 - 10:12am

WXXI has received an incredible response to Episode One of our 6-part Paley on Park Avenue: New York City web series.  Viewers have been captivated by the videography, and many had no idea that Albert Paley was even taking on such an immense project. A reminder that Episode Two goes live this Thursday, May 23 here on our Paley on Park Avenue program page. And if you missed out on Episode One, you can also go back and watch it, since we will keep all previous episodes on the web page as well.

WXXI is proud to share with our community the behind-the-scenes story of what it takes to complete such a significant project. We look forward to sharing this story with art lovers everywhere through WXXI.org and PBS, and to expanding its reach through social media. A reminder that the series will also include segments broadcast Friday nights at 8:30 p.m. on Need to Know Rochester on WXXI-TV. WXXI radio and television will follow the completion of the sculptures and their installation on Park Avenue, culminating in a full-length PBS documentary. 

But until then, be sure to follow the story, culminating in the 13 sculptures being installed on Park Avenue this June. And please share the series with friends and family and let them know where they can watch it all unfold!
