WETA Arts spotlights visual and performing arts in Greater Washington and celebrates the diverse cultural heritage of the nation’s capital. The half-hour magazine-style show presents a variety of stories, profiles and discussions, while introducing emerging and established artists alike. This month, the program has an LGBTQ Pride Month theme, with stories on the musicians of DC’s Different Drummers, a comedy event called LGBTQ AF, an indoor art market called Arty Queers, and a profile of artist Lisa Thalhammer.
