James  is the producer, director, and production editor for About the Arts. He possesses an extensive background in electronics, communications and television production. A thirty year resident of Massachusetts, James has been active in many community programs over the years supporting the needs of children and teens.  

James has enjoyed working as Technical Manager in such prestigious venues as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem, MA and the Elms Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.

He remains dedicated in his commitment to working with youth providing education and inspiration by including them as crew members during studio production shoots of About the Arts.

James provides the foundation for the program. His extensive work over the years with artists form all walks of life, working in every imaginable medium, has finely tuned and nurtured his skills as director. James can bring out the best in even the most reclusive guest on the show. His rapport with artists is only matched by his love of the arts. His track record is a testament to his dedication and personal triumph considering that he undertakes this momentous task of single handedly technically producing About the Arts on a weekly basis, totally free of charge on his own spare time.

"Aloha, Mr. James Brown! I am a visual artist/art educator in Hawaii and my purpose as an artist is to awaken, inform, and transform our people and plant.  Rarely is there a venue to show this type of work...as an artist I feel responsible to recreate this world into a better place especially now in these times of war.  

Thank you for providing a show that honors the true mystics of our time, the artists, and if you ever expand your show to include artists worldwide please contact me". J. Hablewitz - Paia, Hawaii
