Art as Identity in Appalachia with Amanda Page

from ARTS Redefined · host Angela P Meleca

In this episode of ARTS Redefined, I sit down with Amanda Page—author, filmmaker, and founder of Scioto Literary—to explore how living authentically fuels mental health and creativity. We dive into the power of art to revitalize communities, especially in rural Appalachia, and discuss how family support, humanities interventions, and shifting the arts narrative from economic impact to social value are vital to fostering lasting change. Listen in as we unpack how creativity can spark civic pride, solve social challenges, and transform lives. https://www.sciotoliterary.com/ https://www.peerlesscity.com/ Chapters 00:00 Living Authentically: The Foundation of Mental Health 02:10 The Birth of Sciota Literary: A Personal Journey 04:07 Art and Identity: Growing Up in Appalachia 08:02 The Role of Family in Fostering Creativity 10:01 Artists as Problem Solvers: A New Perspective 11:53 Creativity Killers: Social Issues and Their Impact 16:01 Humanities Interventions: Bringing Arts to the Community 17:50 Peerless City: Revitalizing Portsmouth Through Art 20:10 The State of Arts in Rural America: Challenges and Opportunities 23:04 Redefining the Narrative: Arts as a Tool for Change 24:56 Building Community Through Arts and Engagement
