“The Philadelphia Inquirer” called it “the best biographical series ever to appear on American television.” A “terrific series of creative artist profiles,” “a treasure” and “marvelous television” are just a few of the other kudos critics have lavished on AMERICAN MASTERS since its premiere in 1986. Today, the award-winning series from Thirteen/WNET New York is still going beyond biography to examine the lives and achievements of the greatest visionaries of our times. The series’ vast archive includes more than 100 revealing portraits of writers, musicians, composers, theater and film greats, architects, media innovators, and other leading figures who have left an indelible impression on the nation’s cultural landscape. The visionary behind the series, and the keeper of its invaluable archive, is Susan Lacy, creator and executive producer of AMERICAN MASTERS.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
