Plot Synopsis

Host Dave Holmes travels across America, exploring historic and creative communities unique to each city and discovering that town's artistic and cultural side. Each one-hour episode of AMERICAN CANVAS focuses on a different destination, including: San Francisco, CA, where Dave meets the pioneering vertical dance company BANDALOOP, takes a journey back to the Beat Generation, soaks in the tastes and smells of America's oldest Chinatown, visits the world's largest private collection of coin-operated mechanical instruments and antique arcade machines at the Musee Mechanique, and takes viewers on a private tour of Ai Weiwei's "@Large" exhibit on Alcatraz Island; Austin, TX, where Dave gets a two-step dance lesson, goes tailgating at a University of Texas football game, samples food-truck cuisine, cruises the Punk Rock Art Market, goes roller derby-ing, uncovers rare Jimi Hendrix photos, goes on a bat colony expedition, and takes in the excitement of the Fun Fun Fun Fest; and Miami, FL, where Dave checks out Art Basel, takes a food tour of Little Havana, learns how to dance the flamenco, wanders the expansive grounds and gardens of the Vizcaya Mansion, explores Miami's art deco architecture, checks out KRELwear's knitwear at a custom fitting, and gets a street art photography lesson courtesy of Aric Attas at Wynwood Walls.
