Arts In Context

Season 8

Arts In Context is an arts documentary series exploring the process of creation through collaboration and the condition of living and working as an artist. By spotlighting visual arts, dance, music and culture, we hope to pique curiosity and inspire people to learn more about a subject, visit an exhibition, attend a performance, or create and share something beautiful of their own and facilitate the dialogue between artists and audiences.

Arts In Context, a Lone Star Emmy Award winning series, is a production of Austin PBS, KLRU-TV.
