A lifelong artist and local student with a passion for sharing the value of creativity was introduced to SCVTV through a class at College of the Canyons and “Draw Dude” began. “Draw Dude” was one of the first shows at the station to focus on promoting and teaching art, creating a foundation for numerous other programs about arts and culture in the future.

Open Archive tells the stories of the storytellers who’ve created television shows with SCVTV, going back to the station’s opening in 1995. All of the shows featured in “Open Archive’ originally aired on SCVTV’s cable channels and were produced by local community leaders, educators, artists, storytellers, and students. They’re now considered historic — providing an insight into another time — and highlight the many unique places, topics and people who make up the fabric of our community.
