ART inc.
Art is central to the human experience. It can be a calming presence or a powerful tool for social change. It connects us and challenges us. It stokes our curiosity, invites us in, and shows us what’s possible. It’s everywhere we look, and sometimes invisible. “ART inc.” pulls back the curtain on the people and the process.
A Rhode Island PBS Original, “ART inc.” is a digital-first series plus a half-hour magazine-style broadcast exploring the art around us, from the traditional and iconic — music, performance, visual arts — to unexpected discoveries: the art of crafting reef to table sea salt, of the Chinese tea ceremony, of creating a prosthetic eye.
