Season 2: ArtStorming the Art of Remembrance
Most people leave their legacy to chance. At ArtBridge, we believe it can be designed.
This season, we explore the intersection of human survival and creative agency. We are standing in the clearings where fear and love share a chair, talking to the creatives, visionaries, and rebels who are stripping the pretense from mortality to build something durable. This is a radical permission slip to live how you want to live and die how you want to die. Through the lens of living and leaving, we investigate how the quiet rituals of today become the architecture of a lifetime. Stop avoiding the ending. Start shaping it.
Music for ArtStorming the Art of Remembrance was written and performed by John Cruikshank.
The song "For Myriam" was written to honor the memory of the South American wife of the composer's friend, Bruce Haley. Bruce, a recovering alcoholic, had found a new passion and purpose in photography. After his wife's tragic passing, he asked the composer to create music to accompany his exhibits. Titled "For Myriam" primarily for Bruce's sake, the piece serves as a beautiful and lasting reminder of the great love that was a central part of his life, created from a place of deep compassion for a grieving friend.
