YOUR JOURNEY IS ABOUT TO BEGIN...ON ART EXPRESS!
Art Express celebrates creative people who have dedicated their lives to the arts. The program takes you behind the scenes, backstage, and into the artists’ studios to meet the most talented people living among us in New York, Quebec and Vermont. The program surveys the arts and explores what it means to be human.
"The show isn’t just about the arts," says producer Paul Larson. "It’s mostly about people; people just like you, who live where you do. It is their story that we’re telling on the program."

Art Express is made possible, in part, by the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation, dedicated to improving the quality of life for year-round residents of the Adirondack Park. The program is also made possible with public funding from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, administered locally by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts.
