Charleston artist, company to be featured on 'Heartland Highways'



CHARLESTON — A Charleston ceramics artist and a Charleston tile company will be featured in this week’s episode of WEIU-TV’s “Heartland Highways.”

The show also will introduce viewers to Cinema Gallery in downtown Urbana, which was once a movie theater. Now, gallery owners have turned the space into a place for local artists to show off their work.

Dwain Naragon, the Charleston artist featured on the show, crops up in both of the other stories from this episode. The multi-talented Naragon, who is a ceramics professor at Eastern Illinois University, displays some of his work at Cinema Gallery.

In his story, he shares some of his work and how he does it as viewers get a close-up look and behind-the-scenes interviews on what makes him tick.

The final story features Red Rock Tileworks in Charleston, where Naragon has his very own ceramic tile line. This unique company features decorative and beautiful tile crafted by hand for customers all over the country.

The show will air at 4 p.m. Sunday and at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

WEIU-TV is a service of EIU and can be viewed on channel 51, Mediacom channel 6, Dish Network and Direct TV, Channel 51, Insight Communications channel 14 and Consolidated DVS Channel 13.
