The arts community in the Valley has undergone dramatic change in recent years, from the growth of First Fridays, to new murals and to more so-called practical art.
A program making its debut Thursday night on Arizona PBS Channel 8 aims to introduce its viewers to relatively unknown artists from smaller art communities.
The host is Alberto Rio, Arizona’s first poet laureate and an ASU professor. He spoke about " Art in the 48" with The Show.
