With support from Fujifilm North America Corporation, a small group of aspiring image-makers in Nashville and New York have been selected for the exclusive opportunity to learn first-hand — from the Artist Den production team — how an episode of “Live from My Den” is made. They will be given time with the crew to ask questions, receive some hands-on training with Fujifilm X Series and GFX System Products, and get a chance to see the inner workings of a multi-camera production live, in-action.
Furthermore, each episode of “Live From My Den” highlights a local charity organization important to the artist, to be promoted via donation links and targeted messaging. In this uncertain time as we work through the complexities of living in a post-pandemic world, Artists Den and its partners will give back to the community by working alongside Delivering Good, a non-profit charity partner uniting retailers, manufacturers, foundations, and individuals to support people affected by poverty and tragedy. Through Delivering Good, both Hard Rock and Grubhub, are coming together to donate gift cards and meals to agencies in need throughout the season. Additionally, fans of the show will have an opportunity to have access to a limited promotion specifically focused on the Artists Den series during episode premieres.
