What is ArtShow?
During the pandemic in 2019, I was the executive director of an arts center in Philadelphia and like many others, I had to temporarily shut down the physical art gallery program. In order to keep the artists and our constituents engaged, I created a series of artist interviews that were live streamed. The program allowed each artist to talk about their work, their history and their thoughts in a way that was both fun and engaging.
In the fall of 2023, I returned to these weekly interviews with even more great artists in a streamlined format called ArtShow. The interviews are roughly 30 minute illustrated conversations that then get added to my youtube channel. As I've always enjoyed assisting and championing other artists, I created ArtShow so audiences could easily get to know new artists each week as well as helpful insights into their artwork.
Now with over 100 artists interviewed, it's become a valuable and useful artist catalog of top level artists working today. Make sure to subscribe to catch all future episodes (Friday's at 5pm).
