We have big news! ART21 announced last week its eighth season on PBS. And with that, word took off about the fantastic group of artists we've been working with for the last year, including Nick Cave, Minerva Cuevas, Diana Thater, and Jeff Wall. Also noteworthy is our new season host: Claire Danes. On top of all that, ART21 has launched a membership campaign with incredible incentives. Now is your chance to give to make this and all of our programs possible. Tina Kukielski Executive Director, ART21 May 31, 2016

"Making these large works, what concerns me the most is how to get you to pay attention to weight and volume and space and interiors and exteriors. I want to make something that seems really improbable."
