WVIK is mourning the loss of long-time program host, and friend, Bruce Carter. He died Monday at University Hospitals in Iowa City after a brief illness.
He was 66.
Carter first hosted Art Talks, a show about local arts and culture, on KALA Radio at Saint Ambrose University in 1991, and moved the show to WVIK in 1993 where it's been a weekly feature for 21 years.
He also managed a store in Moline for Dick Blick Arts Materials, and recently taught at Kaplan University in Davenport.
A decision about the future of Art Talks hasn't been made.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
