Spark: Getting to Work

Studio 360
The World

This month we’re celebrating 360’s first decade on the air with the publication of the book Spark: How Creativity Works, by long-time Studio 360 executive producer Julie Burstein. In the book, scores of America’s greatest filmmakers, writers, musicians and artists give readers an inside look at their creative processes and inspiration.
This week Kurt and Julie look at the methods artists have for actually getting to work and getting that work done. They revisit Kurt’s conversations with novelist Isabelle Allende, painter Chuck Close, playwright Tony Kushner, and sculptor Richard Serra.
To hear our original full-length interviews with those artists go here.
