Seasons 1-7 were loosely structured around themes that unify the individual artists and help audiences analyze, compare, contrast, and juxtapose their work and processes. Season 8 marked a shift for the series, and for the first time in the shows history, the artists were grouped by their unique and revealing relationships to the cities where they live and work. Showcasing the geography, architecture, society, culture, and heritage of each location, Seasons 8 – 10 revealed how artists today simultaneously draw inspiration from and influence their immediate surroundings, while engaging far-flung communities from all over the world.
