Customer Reviews
Wonderful podcast!
Real genuine discussions about being a working artist. I really appreciate the insight and lack of pretension! Thank you!
Understanding creativity
This is my go-to podcast when I’m tired of politics and doom and just want to relax and listen to artists chat about creativity, the joys and struggles of being an artist, and how artists evolve. Doug is an awesome host and comes from a unique perspective (artist, gallery owner, and collector), allowing him to approach his guests from a various angles.
Art Bound Podcast
I appreciate to discover those podcasts. As a young artist in New York it is always good to hear from others experiences. Thank you Artists network! I already listened to the first one with Hunt, and I am ready to listen the entire season. During painting time, in my studio in Lower East side, it’s a great way to get inspired, just by imagination on what the narrator is talking about. Yes dreams never expired! Thank you very much for sharing!
