In February of this year, over four-thousand people gathered at the ARC Conference in London. Among them were a group of phenomenal Orthodox artists invited by Jonathan Pageau. I gathered many of these artists in our hotel lobby one evening and hosted a roundtable discussion. It was an unprecedented conversation, considering the extraordinary talents present. After much editing and audio-cleanup, the video is now available to watch on the Symbolic World channel:

I want to thank filmmaker Scooter Downey for filming this discussion, and audio producer Michael Sellas for editing out the background noise. The scene at the end is from a supra (traditional Georgian feast) that John Heers arranged for all of us artists on the last night of the ARC Conference. Musical toasts are one of the features of such a feast, and many of those feasting that night were musicians.
