The aim of ARTinRES is to give viewers a "behind the scenes" look at working artists in order to de-mystify the creative process, heighten appreciation for the artistic community's contribution to our lives, and to reveal the commitment artists make to their work. The artists involved have contributed their time and expertise with the knowledge that their messages about the arts will receive the largest audience possible. Copies of an artist's tape are made available to the artist for a nominal fee.
