Why do humans create art? Filmmaker Karen Cantor went to Santa Fe to find out. Sculptors, painters, weavers, musicians, and writers share their journeys into the unknown, whether starting from a slab of stone, a blank canvas, or a pile of wool. Filmed in a poetic style, the filmmaker uses the metaphor of a spider creating its web, endlessly spinning the strands produced from its own body, just as the artists reach into their inner selves and formulate their creations. Working in a beautiful natural environment we see how nature is incorporated into art. Not only does 'Invitation to the Muse' reflect artists' inner journeys, it also is a feast for the eyes and a celebration of the creative force.
