CentralTrak will kick off its 2014/2015 talk series “Tête-à-Tête”, one-on-one interviews and discussions with innovative, inspiring and revolutionary artists, with CentralTrak artist-in-residence Christopher Blay and Anthony Mariani of the Fort Worth Weekly.

The two will discuss Blay’s immense artistic background and the overlooked significance of artists who work and exhibit where they live. This discussion includes the formulation and impact on hometown culture, the struggle to support oneself and the simultaneous struggle to support other artists in the community.
