"Fine" Art Podcast
Arts & Culture Podcasts
Hi, I'm host Keegan Shiner, and I love talking to fine artists about how they make it, do it, and what they're up to next. I want to have honest conversations with artists about their process, influences, interests and work. Each week I invite a new artist to the podcast and also invite a friend who is not a fine artist and has not taken an art class but they appreciate art and provide a friendly and curious "untrained eye" to the conversation. Don't forget to subscribe, and thanks for listening!
