Overview

The new season of Artland allows art lovers to experience the best of 50 cities, in 12 one-hour episodes. Destinations include major hubs like Miami, Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Denver, San Francisco, Atlanta, Portland and Seattle and remote outposts like the Utah desert home of Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, the South Dakota Hills that house the still-in-progress Crazy Horse Memorial and the tiny Texas town called “Art.” Along the way, the hosts interviewed noted collectors, curators, academics and locals in each destination.
