We brings T with Arts into the USC Arts Leadership Practicum classroom for a special group conversation with Professor Helane Anderson and students in the program. Bring Jasmine Silver Pekoe Tea and Art together, we reflect on what artists may be facing after 2025 — changing tools, shifting attention, AI, and what still matters enough to hold on to.

欢迎收听《T with Arts》。在本期首播中，这是迈向一个新空间的第一步，在这个空间里，年轻的艺术家们可以坦诚地谈论创作过程、身份认同、压力、生存以及当今的艺术生活。

Every conversation begins somewhere. In this first episode of T with Arts, Crystal begins with tea — and with an invitation. This is the first cup, the first gesture, and the beginning of a space for young artists to reflect, and what it means to keep creating today.
