Art Happens Here With John Lithgow, which sees the actor study dance, ceramics, silk-screen printing and vocal jazz with students in Los Angeles, debuts on PBS April 26. The one-hour special “is a love letter to the teachers and to the students who bring arts education to life every day,” said Tamara Gould, executive producer, and one that addresses a lack of arts education in schools, according to the producers.
Lithgow and Gould spoke about the special at the TCA’s winter press tour. He credited teachers he had as a teen who encouraged him to pursue the arts.
