Bob Timberlake’s life story on UNC-TV
The seventeenth installment of UNC-TV’s historic “Biographical Conversations” series provides an intimate portrait of a well-known North Carolina artist on the occasion of his 75th birthday.
The installment in Biographical Conversations features Bob Timberlake.
A series of three one-hour interviews between UNC-TV’s Shannon Vickery and Lexington’s most well-known artist, designer and entrepreneur creates an opportunity to hear Timberlake’s life story in his own words.
The series will be broadcast at 7 p.m. on consecutive Sundays, Jan. 8, 15 and 22, on UNC-TV.
Charter Communications cable customers in the High Country can find UNC-TV on Channel 13.
Despite no formal art education or training, Timberlake’s 40-year career depicting the simple life in his native North Carolina endears his work to millions of admirers around the world.
As the late CBS newsman Charles Kuralt wrote in his book “Somewhere in Time” about Bob Timberlake, “I met a painter, also a North Carolinian, who, like me, has known some of these old things himself and heard to tell of many others, and has felt within himself the strong urge to get it down, as much as he can, and pass it on.”
Viewers will have the opportunity to get to know this Tar Heel original as never before in these in-depth one-on-one conversations, UNC-TV officials said.
In its Biographical Conversations series, UNC-TV engages in intimate one-on-one conversations to capture the life stories of extraordinary North Carolinians whose impact and vision have earned them national prominence and a place in history.
The series is funded by a grant from the A.J. Fletcher Foundation. The mission of the A.J. Fletcher Foundation is to support nonprofit organizations in their endeavors to enrich the lives and well-being of people in North Carolina.
Timberlake has longstanding ties to the High Country with the Bob Timberlake Gallery located on Main Street in Blowing Rock and the Bob Timberlake Inn located at Chetola Resort.
Chetola’s Manor House Restaurant is currently being remodeled and will reopen this spring as “Timberlake’s.”
