• Every Thursday since 2016, Art&Seek has explored the personal journeys of a unique North Texas creative, and an amazing archive of our local artistic community has formed since then. Join the Art&Seek team in giving thanks to all of the artists who have participated and let us into their studios, performance spaces, homes, and given our listeners a peek into their creative world.
