Over the last ten years, the Art in the Twenty-First Century series has become a biennial staple of the PBS Fall Arts programming. However, things are changing up a bit for the next season of the Peabody Award-winning series.
Art in the Twenty-First Century will return to PBS in 2012, featuring fourteen artists over four brand new episodes.
As with previous broadcasts, we will be encouraging individuals and institutions to host preview events in anticipation of the series premiere.
More information will be included in future issues of Art21 News closer to the projected air date. Stay tuned!
