You Are Not An Artist

Arts EN ↓ 58 episodes

Welcome to our podcast! My name is Alejandro and my wife (Shelby) and I run a for profit art organization in our city of San Angelo, TX called Art Alliance San Angelo. This podcast originally began as a podcast to provide career training to all visual artists around the world but this year we have changed this podcast to direct that help to our local art community. However, many of the topics covered and artist interviews are still very useful regardless of where you reside. We hope you enjoy!
