About this listen

 Here we share stories from artists, arts administrators and other professionals working at the intersection of art and technology. Host, Renée Coughlin, of the Canadian folk-pop band The Pairs, highlights meaningful parallels between the individual experiences of guests and the day-to-day challenges faced by artist-entrepreneurs. Together we work to interrogate the landscape of the art’s industry and attempt to inject a refreshed sense of optimism to unravel the narrative of the starving artist.Copyright 2020 All rights reserved.
