On April 21, 2023, fifteen local artists in varied disciplines came together to share the sources of their inspiration, each using ten slides and twenty seconds per slide to explain them. Watching this quickly-paced night of introspection, thoughtfulness, and creativity is a unique way to get to know these interesting Rockland County artists and their art, be entertained, and learn something about the artistic process. Just as our imaginations are infinite, so are the answers to the question, "what inspires you?" They can surprise you, and they will definitely inspire you.
