LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Getty Museum announced the return of Becoming Artsy, a YouTube series hosted by Jessie Hendricks, senior creative producer at Getty. The first episode of the new season, Jousting, is now available to stream. New episodes of Becoming Artsy will be released every other Tuesday.
In season one of Becoming Artsy, which launched in fall 2021, Jessie took viewers on a dynamic ride through Getty Museum collections, laboratories, gardens, and more, while interviewing various Getty professionals. As a newcomer to the art world, Jessie provides an entertaining, relatable perspective while venturing into new territory along with viewers.
While the first season was more of an introduction to Getty and its many programs, season two will dive even deeper with topics that illuminate the intersection of art and science, including anatomical art, how to create ultramarine, art conservation experiments, and more.
