New Artist Source presents a powerful conversation with the Delta Arts Center Whitney Harness, MBA and iconic artist Leo Rucker — a dialogue about community, opportunity, and the creative ecosystem of East Winston.

In this 6.5‑minute interview, we explore:
• The purpose behind the exhibition
• The impact of beginners and veterans sharing space
• The relationships formed between artists
• The diversity of ages, stories, and art forms
• The importance of access and exposure in underserved communities
• The cultural and economic divide known as the “52‑Divide”

This conversation is more than a recap — it’s a reflection of why NAS exists.

Art. Community. Culture.
This is New Artist Source.
