The Artist in Us
The Artist In Us was originally developed as content for a youth-run fundraising project in 2015, when I was in middle school. Inspired by the 2007 Joshua Bell social experiment, The Artist In Us is an interview series where I ask different people—musicians, painters, storytellers, machine intelligence developers, artists, amateurs and non-artists—questions about the arts.
