Season 1
Episode 1
"Artbound" explores the arts and culture of Southern California through articles, essays, and thinkpieces by more than 30 contributors in 11 counties. These correspondents cover cultural happenings in the communities where they live, providing an inside look at art across the region. Then the "Artbound" audience votes online for articles to be made into short web videos, which are assembled into a TV show.
Here are the mini-documentaries featured in the series premiere:
- "Date Farmers: Desert Detritus Becomes Chicano Pop Art" (Riverside County)
- "Hijabistas: Inside the World of Muslim American Fashion" (Orange County)
- "Jackrabbit Homestead" (San Bernardino County)
- "Steel Modern: A History of Steel Houses in Palm Springs" (Riverside County)
