Meet contemporary artists at work and speaking in their own words - direct, accessible, and unfiltered. This four-hour series spotlights 17 artists working in the United States today, and invites viewers behind the scenes to see artists at work in their homes, communities, and unexpected sites - from an old-growth forest to a military base to a film set. The artists, including painters, photographers, sculptors, and video artists, demonstrate the breadth of artistic practice across the country and explore questions that are both timeless and timely - about politics, mortality, love, nature, science, order, chaos, and more.
