State of the Arts has been taking you on location with the most creative people in New Jersey and beyond since 1981. The New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmy Award-winning series features documentary shorts about an extraordinary range of artists and visits New Jersey’s best performance spaces. State of the Arts is on the frontlines of the creative and cultural worlds of New Jersey.
State of the Arts is a cornerstone program of NJ PBS, with episodes co-produced by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and Stockton University, in cooperation with PCK Media. The series also airs on WNET and ALL ARTS.
On this week's episode... Artist, historian and bestselling author Nell Irvin Painter on her book I Just Keep Talking, a collection of her essays interspersed with her art. Also on this week’s episode, in 1974, high school friends Phil Buehler and Steve Siegel rowed out to explore the ruins of Ellis Island and make a film. With the film’s re-release in the NY Times OpDocs series, Phil and Steve revisit the island after 50 years. And at Two River Theater in Red Bank, the world premiere of The Scarlet Letter, Kate Hamill’s stage adaptation of Hawthorne’s classic tale.
The Competition
The judges for the Miss Universe 2007 pageant included:
: The show was hosted by Mario Lopez and Vanessa Minnillo (now Lachey), who brought a youthful, high-energy vibe to the broadcast.
The competition was fierce from the start, with the preliminary favorites quickly solidifying their lead. The Top 15 were narrowed down after a high-octane swimsuit segment, which saw some of the highest scores in the pageant's history.
The top 5 were: Brazil, Japan, Korea, USA, and Venezuela. Each woman drew a question from a bowl. This segment of the Miss Universe 2007 full show is still studied in pageantry schools for its harsh consequences.
