Four artists

Season 2026 Episode 3 | 27m 59s

This week on State of the Arts, meet four artists from around the nation whose one-of-a-kind work encapsulates their world through unique artistic vision. Miniatures capture the soul of a city; a painter brings sports action to life; a leather artist creates works from upcycled leather; and a man learns to express himself through abstract painting in order to fill a physical emptiness.
