Living as an Artist: Interviews and mini documentaries. Primarily centered in, but not limited to, the New York comtemporary art world. Some alternate titles for the channel could be "Notes to my younger self" or "Leapfrogging" as in take this information and let it be useful to get you where you want to go.
Many of the interviewees will have gone through visual art MFA programs and shown in galleries or museums, but this conversation is open to creative people in other fields or with different career paths.
