On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek looks back at the 2018 initiative, Art Design Chicago. New numbers offer a more complete picture of the impact of the year-long initiative had on Chicago. Later in the program, Gary takes a closer look at the popularity of Game of Thrones. Daily Herald columnist Sean Stangland will join me for a discussion about the popular HBO fantasy series that’s about to start its final season. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by to review the Chicago premiere of a musical written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Gary also talks to the filmmaking team behind the intriguing new documentary, AMERICAN FACTORY. The film will make its Chicago premiere at the Doc 10 Film Festiva. All that, plus the weekly Arts Section Calendar.
