Eventbrite API not returning Events - php

Question

So a site I am working on for a client, http://atasteofartistry.com, needs to have EventBrite integration. It is a wordpress install running a Genesis theme.
Right now, in functions.php, I have this:
//* EventBrite
require 'Eventbrite.php';
$eb_client = new Eventbrite( array('app_key'=>'(REDACTED)',
'user_key'=>'(REDACTED)'));
$arr = array('user'=>'atasteofartistry#gmail.com',
'event_statuses'=>'live,started'
);
e$events = $eb_client->user_list_events($arr);
and I have the call in a widget listed like this:
<h1>My Event List:</h1>
<?= Eventbrite::eventList( $events, 'eventListRow'); ?>
</div>
On the site, I am not getting the events. The Eventbrite.php API client is initializing, because I get the "No Events" message, but I just cannot pass anything through to it.
I've been staring at it for 8 hours now and need help. So HELP!
I'm using the Eventbrite PHP library from Github.

How to fix it would be great, but I can't even figure out how to troubleshoot it.
Many thanks,
Joe
