Special Programming
Exploring the Arts
Just imagine a world without art. No Picasso. No Ballet or Broadway! From your china pattern to the clothes you wear, the furniture in your home and even the desserts that grace your table, art is everywhere - enriching our lives every day. And as a former actress and lifelong devotee, Suzanne Roberts is passionate about the arts and sharing that passion with others. Now, that passion takes the spotlight, as Seeking Solutions with Suzanne launches a new series of monthly half-hour specials, called Exploring the Arts!
Exploring the Arts gives viewers a unique experience - actually taking you inside the artist's own environment, for an intimate look not only of the artist's work, but of the creation process itself.
From glassmaker to food stylist, cartoonist to portrait painter, join Suzanne in your own discovery with Exploring the Arts!
