ART FOR YOUR EAR brings you stories from some of my favorite contemporary artists. When I studied Art History, the best part was, well, the gossip. I loved finding out why artists did certain things, what was going on in their personal lives, and behind-the-scenes details about other artists they knew and worked with. This podcast is exactly that ... inside-scoop stories from the artsiest people I know. You'll hear first-hand from these talented, successful, full-time artists (who also happen to be regular people with hilarious stories) BEFORE they’re in the Art History books. - Danielle (aka The Jealous Curator)
SFMoMA : future greats
This is a very special episode because I didn't do just one interview, I interviewed a whole room full of fabulous artists at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Who, you ask? The great artists of tomorrow - ages 3 to 10! Brace yourself for inspirational, hilarious, cuteness overload.
