PBS NewsHour invites you to go Beyond the CANVAS
The PBS NewsHour invites you to go Beyond the CANVAS.
The half-hour program showcases some of the nation's leading cultural creators — musicians, playwrights, comedians, costume designers, among many others — who show us how they turn their visions of the world into art.
The new four-part series features some of the best arts and culture stories from the NewsHour's CANVAS reports. Hosted by the NewsHour's senior national correspondent Amna Nawaz, "Beyond the CANVAS" shows how artists create new perceptions, new worlds and inspire change. The artists also share how they nurtured their passions, or learned how to mesmerize an audience.
"Beyond the CANVAS" premieres on Sunday, July 26, 2020 at 10:30 p.m. ET on PBS stations nationwide. Check your local listings. Join the CANVAS Facebook group here, and follow @NewsHourArts on Twitter.
