The World

Would you seek creative inspiration while seasick in one of the coldest places imaginable? This fall a group of 14 artists sets sail for a two week journey to the Arctic Circle. They’ll start from an archipelago halfway between Norway and the North Pole. Reporter Matt Holzman will be on board with the artists, but first he wanted to see how their preparations were going.
