LA JOLLA, Calif., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Whether it's in the park, on the corner or inside City Hall, public art seems to pop up just about everywhere -- often without much notice by the public for which it's intended. UCTV Prime, a new YouTube original channel from the University of California, wants viewers to share the public art in their community -- or "Naked Art," as it's referred to in the title of channel's debut series -- as part of its "Show Us Your 'Naked Art' and Win!" contest, running through April 3, 2012. When viewers upload a video response to any of UCTV Prime's "Naked Art" YouTube videos, or post a photo on the channel's Facebook page, they'll be entered to win a beautiful book about one of the public art collections featured in the "Naked Art" series. Contest rules and links to enter are available at http://www.uctv.tv/nakedartrules .
UCTV Prime, the first university-run original channel to be included among YouTube's partnerships with recognizable brands like The Wall Street Journal, Madonna and TED, launched March 1 with "Naked Art," a four-part series that looks at the preeminent public art collections on three UC campuses. The first installment takes viewers to UC San Diego's Stuart Collection, featuring site-specific works by some of the leading artists of our time, followed by a trip to UCLA's historic Murphy Sculpture Garden. The third program premieres March 16 and offers a tour of the collection at UCSF's Mission Bay campus, an interesting blend of art and science. The series concludes March 23 with an overview of "Museums without Walls." Bonus material, blog entries, photos and more are available at the "Naked Art" website.
Each week, UCTV Prime presents 15 minutes of fresh content from throughout the University of California at http://www.youtube.com/uctvprime and http://www.uctv.tv/prime . Other series on the channel include "UCTV Prime: Vote," a recurring, 5-minute segment offering election analysis and commentary by UC faculty and experts, and "UCTV Prime: Cuts," another 5-minute series reporting on research developments, entertaining events and interesting personalities on the campuses and beyond.
