Artist Interviews

Artist Interviews are videos where members of our Teen Arts Council ask artists pressing questions, and fun ones too. The artists all have work in the galleries or on the stage at the ICA. The interviews are planned by the TAC and produced by alumni of Fast Forward (our film program).
