			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft frame size-thumbnail wp-image-69" title="r150" src="http://artisticunion.org/cms/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/r150-100x150.jpg" alt="r150" width="100" height="150" />A native of Greenville, Standridge has left his mark in this community as the founder of South Carolina Children&#8217;s Theatre and as a Recruiting Director for the SC Governor&#8217;s School for the Arts.</p>
<p>His paintings have been exhibited in countless galleries throughout the Southeast and his works are highly sought after by both private and corporate collectors.<span id="more-46"></span></p>
<p>Standridge continues to explore new avenues of expression. Ric believes, &#8220;that each painting is a synthesis of the varied cultural influences that have shaped my own consciousness. These influences are entered into my paintings; the order and the complexity that results is intended to convey a simple message: reverence for life and the human form and spirit&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft frame size-thumbnail wp-image-24" title="aa" src="http://artisticunion.org/cms/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/aa-150x150.jpg" alt="aa" width="150" height="150" />Angie Aparo is an Atlanta-based artist whose career began in 1997 with the release of his first indie record, titled “Out Of The Everywhere.” While playing coffee shops and small clubs in support of this release, Angie was discovered by Grammy Award winning producer Matt Serletic in ‘98 and was subsequently signed by Clive Davis to Arista Records in 1999.<span id="more-72"></span><br />
Angie’s critically acclaimed major-label debut “The American,” produced by Matt Serletic, hit the streets in 2000. The disc boasted the single “Spaceship” which enjoyed national radio airplay and some attention from VH-1. Another standout on “The American” was “Cry.” And although it did not garner significant airplay for Aparo, it went on to become the title track and number-one single for Faith Hill on her 2002 release and earned her a Grammy win the following year. Angie went on to pen songs for other Nashville acts, most notably “Big Time” on the multi-platinum selling record by Big &amp; Rich.<br />
Throughout all this, Aparo continued to focus on his career as an artist and building his fan base through touring and the release of his third record “For Stars And Moon.” It was the song, “Child You’re The Revolution” from this disc that caught the attention of producer Dann Huff (Rascall Flatts, LeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban) and subsequently led to Huff producing Aparo’s mid-2006 release, “El Primero Del Tres.”<br />
“El Primero Del Tres” is the first in a trilogy of albums exploring the themes of love and war. The second installment titled “Praise Be” was released in December 2006, and Aparo is currently writing the third. Amidst all this, Angie continues to tour and he also looks forward to maintaining his collaborative relationships with other pop and country artists.</p>
