This forty day adventure proves tougher than any of them ever thought possible, as the money dries up the teams are forced to push themselves harder than ever before in the struggle not only to survive but to make it to the final.Art of Survival is the definitive arts hustle and the ultimate answer to the age old question: what is art really worth?

Singer Lindsey Crow and cellist Li Lu take on artist Johan Andersson and cellist Janie Price in a race from Athens to Edinburgh, financed only by the cash they make from their own art

With just ten euros, Lindsey and Li Lu take a huge gamble when they check into a 250-euro-a-night hotel in Venice. Meanwhile, Janie battles for a slot on a Florence radio station.
