DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE ARTIST - THE SERIES  (WATCH  |  IMAGES FROM SHOOT)

Our vision for this community education project is to explore a “Day in the Life of the Artist”. This documentary will go behind the scenes and into the lives of visual artists and musicians to experience their creative processes. The result of our project will be an educational video providing viewers the opportunity to see and experience visual content which otherwise would never be available to them.

Glass Artists – coming winter 2007
The first installment of this series will explore the dramatic media of sculpture glass with some of Seattle’s most innovative and inspired artists. This is a world of scorching furnaces, molten hot glass, quick thinking and focused inspiration. In the words of Aaron Tate, one of the featured artists, “Glass is a fundamentally special medium.” Glass is able to move from a liquid to a solid in mere moments, making each movement to and from the heat source, extremely important and vital to the final outcome.

This documentary will bring you into a day in the studio, otherwise known as the “Hot Shop”. We will follow four artists as they work through their creative process. The process will unfold right before us, to reveal each moment that goes into creating a piece art. You will also see the tools, people and places that make it possible for these artists’ to execute their vision.

As you will see in this documentary, art, such as life, can make unexpected twists will force you to release any preconceptions or expectation you may have had, in order to achieve the best outcome for the final piece. Let go and be open to the possibilities you may not
have seen. The outcome of such honesty can become something more beautiful that you could ever imagine. Even better yet,
is the situation of collaboration. See what happens when four artists, with unique vision and talents, come together on the
same level, for the same purpose – to create a collaborative piece of art.
