Where are the interesting artists? In their studios of course!
Art commentator Mat Gleason knows the inner workings of the Los Angeles art scene as well as anyone. He wants to take you on a voyage of discovery into the place where it most happens: The artist’s studio. Whether you are an art collector, investor, enthusiast or aspiring artist yourself, observing an artist in their environment will expand your understanding of contemporary art. Along the way Mat will be discussing art and art concepts in an entertaining and educational dialogue.
