Hello!

What is the purpose of the if statement on line 30 in your `getArtInfo()` function? That could be a place to start. It seems as though this function results in nothing getting added to your filtered lists. Using the watcher/console area could be helpful to see what’s going on.

You could also check out this [Debugging Flowchart](https://forum.code.org/t/debugging-flowchart/35521) that might be helpful.

Cheers,  
Ken
