This sounds fantastic. Bravo is creating a reality show about visual artists. The competition's winner will get cash and shows at a gallery and museums (though the Times report doesn't name the venues).
My hope is that it won't only be a fun watch for art professionals, but it will also draw people who aren't otherwise engaged in art. As judge Simon de Pury of Phillips put it, the show will help dispel the rarified air of "hermetic inapproachability" around the art world. No word yet on when the show will air, but I. Can't. Wait. (Thanks to J for the tip.)

Or the show might just have the opposite effect, depending on who the contestants are going to be. Hopefully, they won't alienate the public even further from the art world.
A great art concept. I hope photography is allowed in the submissions.
Thanks for the information I had heard rumour of this but did not know any details. I am going to take a look at Bravo.
