Providing unique access to some of the most compelling artists of our time, the new season features a dozen artists from the United States, Europe, and Latin America, and transports viewers to artistic projects across the country and around the world. In locations as diverse as a Bronx public housing project, a military testing facility in the Nevada desert, a jazz festival in Sweden, and an activist neighborhood in Mexico, the artists reveal intimate and personal insights into their lives and creative processes.

As in past seasons, each one-hour episode in Season 7 is organized around a theme that connects the artists. Season 7 features episodes on Investigation, Secrets, Legacy, and Fiction. Season 7 premieres October 24, 2014 on PBS (check local listings).
