Two artists attempt to cross the USA in opposite directions, one starting in New York, the other in Los Angeles. At the start of their journeys, they are given a backpack full of art supplies, and one US Dollar. In order to fund not only their travels, but also to buy food and accommodation, they must create and sell pieces of art along the way. (Or failing that, rely on the generosity of strangers). As they journey across the United States, a running total of the money they have made from selling their art is kept. Once each artist has reached the opposite side of the country from where they started, they are each given a gallery space, which in just 36 hours they must fill with their artwork. At the end of the 36 hours, a two-hour sale takes place, with the resulting profit being added to the money they made when on their cross-country journey. When the two totals are combined, the artist who has made the most money from selling their art is declared the winner.

Synopsis

Two artists attempt to cross the USA in opposite directions, one starting in New York, the other in Los Angeles. At the start of their journeys, they are given a backpack full of art supplies, and one US Dollar. In order to fund not only their travels, but also to buy food and accommodation, they must create and sell pieces of art along the way. (Or failing that, rely on the generosity of strangers). As they journey across the United States, a running total of the money they have made from selling their art is kept. Once each artist has reached the opposite side of the country from where they started, they are each given a gallery space, which in just 36 hours they must fill with their artwork. At the end of the 36 hours, a two-hour sale takes place, with the resulting profit being added to the money they made when on their cross-country journey. When the two totals are combined, the artist who has made the most money from selling their art is declared the winner.
