The Hope Business: Bill Strickland
trailer shot and edited by ben hernstrom
from the Post-Gazette:
JFilm: The Pittsburgh Jewish Film Forum served as host for Ms. Goren's residency. When organizers pitched a new residency to the Schusterman Foundation, they had an additional component in mind: They wanted to give a filmmaker the opportunity to practice his/her craft in Pittsburgh.
...Ms. Goren discovered Bill Strickland and the Manchester Bidwell Corp., which are currently in the very early stages of establishing a center in Israel. Ms. Goren had found that "catch."
Mr. Strickland says that, although they are just at the beginning of the process, they are aiming for a comprehensive program.

The Pittsburgh Art BlogThe Pittsburgh Art Blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20,2007. pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site http://www.pghgalleries.com/.
the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh artist advocate rick byerly.
Bill Strickland is a TOTAL ASSHOLE!!!! ANd an idiot to boot. I still, cannot figure out what it is that people like about him. He runs a small college and arts center on PA State funding and is a jerk. Yet, everyone loves him. He is a womanizing, drunk, jerk, who drops the F-word every sentence. The fact that people love him makes me further question the stupidity of our world.
