The Infinite Art Hunt

Availability information for this program

Freddie is on a mission to become a great artist. With the help of her cousin Ty and their Grandma Tilly, an eccentric art teacher with friends all over town, the kids go on art quests around their neighborhood. The cousins learn about art spaces (big and small), hear from local makers, and get a chance to create original pieces for themselves. THE INFINITE ART HUNT invites elementary school-age viewers to join Freddie on a virtual field trip covering a range of artistic mediums and styles, from public art and sculpture gardens to museums and airports. Each episode is shot on location in real spaces with real guests, including curators, photographers, educators, and artists, and inspires kids to explore art in their own community.

Lucky for her there's a mask making workshop happening the same day, but after talking to the artists and educators there, Freddie decides that maybe owning what makes her unique is better than covering up.
