Featured Armory Artist

Judy Gail Krasnow

Since age eight, guitar in hand, Judy has been speaking and singing out for and about people who have made a difference. As a Chautauqua Scholar and Performer for the Florida Humanities Council for ten years, she presented programs about women who left their marks upon history. As part of the Oklahoma Arts & Humanities Council Chautauqua Tour 2006, she brought hatchet-wielding Temperance Activist, and American Icon, Carry A. Nation, to life. In 2008, once again touring in Oklahoma, she portrays Rachel Carson, pioneering ecologist and author of Silent Spring, the book that awakened global environmental concern. Judy's historical programs include stories of adventurers, explorers, and achievers. She performs for all ages, adapting her programs accordingly and captivating young and old alike. As a Kennedy Center trained Artist-In-Education, Judy has received many grants to develop and perform her varied programs. In addition to her prime genre of historical programs, her fare includes tales and tunes from cultures around the world, curriculum-related programs, and, of course, programs custom-tailored to requested themes, workshops, and Keynotes.
