ABOUT THE SHOW:

Painter Melissa Hefferlin and Photographer and Producer Nina Froriep are curious to understand many things about Art in their Live Show, An Artful Live: Curious Conversations About How Humans Make and Use Art.

What is Art?
Who is an artist, really?
Why do we need Art in our lives?
Where should we start if we want to collect Art?

These questions (and many more) about the relationship between humans and Art in all its forms will be the topic of dynamic, 45-minute conversations in a 6-part series streaming live on LinkedIn and YouTube, and later available as recordings.
