The Why Series

24 artists were asked the question: “Why do you do what you do?” for an exhibit at Work • Detroit in 2008. Excerpts from the show ran as part of a PLAY Series on Michigan Television and the Michigan Channel.

Though the exhibit is long over, we decided to continue the video series. Stay tuned for more episodes.
