Art Heroes Radio

A friend of mine just introduced me to Art Heroes Thought Radio, "Conversations about living + working in the arts." The show airs Thursday evenings and the web site has posted tons of great stories on marketing, getting work exhibited, the advantages of hiring artists, public art, and so much more. Here's what the web site says it's about:

Art Heroes Radio features conversations every Thursday evening with established and upcoming artists, creative professionals and experts in related fields. Go behind the scenes with guests like Austin Kleon, Hugh MacLeod, and others to see how a successful creative career feels, how they got where they are, and how they stay on track even when success turns out differently than they imagined.

The focus of the show is advice for artists and creative entrepreneurs presented in a conversational format. Learn what works (and what doesn't) from artists and creatives who have pioneered new ways to build an arts career. The stories and ideas presented add up to an ongoing guide put together by and for people living and working in the arts. From business and marketing ideas, to discussions on how to cope with fame, fans or family, the show will cover all aspects of the artists' life. Learn how to grow, manage and maintain your arts career from those who've done it the hard way.

 I highly recommend checking it out - as an artist, as an art educator, as an art student. There are a lot of really interesting conversations packed into one site.
