Welcome to the world of THE ARTSIDERS, the groundbreaking story of artistic life.

Presented by award-winning filmmaker Chris Olsen, THE ARTSIDERS features interviews with internationally recognized sculptors Christine Rojek, Thomas Scarff, and Mike Helbing, award winning poet and author Tyehimba Jess (of "Leadbelly" fame), incendiary performance artist and artistic director of Breakbone DanceCo Atalee Judy, renowned vocal artist Greg Whalen and many others.
