In anticipation of a group art show in the Friendly Community Room, five visual artists met with host Miguel Gonzalez for this Friendly Conversation. Katy Bergholz, Mike DiGilio, Rachel Grossman, Tim Leeming, and Cindy Trim gathered in the Abbey Road apartment (one of four available for overnight stays) to discuss their work and the show's theme: Place. This is, actually, the first ever episode featuring visual artists (instead of musicians). Look for more artistic diversity in upcoming episodes as well.
