Breakfast with the Arts is a television program that aired on A&E from 1991 until 2007.

Over the years, the show featured performances and interviews from all facets of the performing arts including rock, jazz, and classical, music, Broadway, film, dance, and books.[1][2] Guests included country musician Bonnie Raitt[3], rock band Los Lobos[1], pop artist Avril Lavigne, actress Lauren Bacall[4], and pop singer Natasha Bedingfield.[5] The host for the first 12 years was Peabody Award winning broadcaster Elliott Forrest; later episodes were hosted by Karina Huber.[1]

TV personality Timberly Whitfield also served as a correspondent and interviewed celebrities for the program. [6]

In 2005, the series was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award.[7] After the cancellation of the series in summer 2007, A&E debuted a new Sunday morning arts program titled Private Sessions, formatted similarly to Breakfast and hosted by Lynn Hoffman.[8]
