Art & Inquiry
If you’re an artist, creative thinker, or just someone who loves the “why” behind the art—you’re in the right place. Art is more than just paint or pixels. It’s history, culture, humanity—all wrapped up in bold strokes and big ideas. Because, at the end of the day, it’s not just about the “what” but the “why.” Art & Inquiry is a collaborative journey full of inspiration, creator interviews, insights, practical advice; and some curious detours (a.k.a. tangents) along the way. Get ready to laugh, learn, and create with Art & Inquiry curators & hosts: "MELO" MELOGRAPHICS and "Cat" Catalyst Echo.
