Evoking the Muse
THE MUSE: She was once the female sage, a goddess, and for hundreds of years the blessing of a Muse was essential for the creation of art.

Over the past ten years, artists have discussed with her the inspiration that becomes manifest when they are exposed to the spirit and energy of New York City.
In this feature, artists share their experiences of visiting New York and exhibiting their artwork in the heart of this exciting city.
