About

Vita Brevis explores how business, creativity, and philanthropy intersect through the lives of remarkable people. Through conversations with entrepreneurs and community leaders who are collectors and patrons of the arts, the show examines how art shapes the way they think, work, and build legacy. Because life is short - but art is forever.
