The year ahead is a gift that has been given to you. What might you do with it?

In a world of unwanted distraction, where AI is attempting to replace the human imagination, how can we ensure we continue to look, read, and think for ourselves? Who can remind us of the joys of creativity? What can we do to bring the necessity of artful living to our day?

Gathered from interviews and personal conversations, How to Live an Artful Life collects thoughts, reflections and creative insights for every day of the year. Featuring Marina Abramović, Nan Goldin, Lubaina Himid, Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin and more, each entry offers wisdom from some of the greatest artists of all time.
