Find below an up to date list of our Artist Spotlight series'. You can also browse the archive here, by using the Artist Spotlight filter in the News section.
We encourage you to read these interviews with an open mind, and to remember that starting a relationship with an artist can be something smaller than a mainstage show such as inviting them to lead a workshop, sit on a panel, or collaborate with another artist.
