With the show now over a year old, what a perfect time to release a trailer… Oof.  But anyway, if you're listening to this, you probably want to know more about this podcast. Which, first of all, thank you. That's amazing, and i really appreciate you checking it out.

With that said, i'm michael, and this is Art Affairs. Art Affairs was born out of a desire to share some of the stories from the many amazing people that make up the New Contemporary Art community. Each show is usually around an hour to an hour and a half, and features a conversation with an artist, a gallerist, a curator… shining a spotlight on the human side of the wonderful work they do. That's pretty much the show in a nutshell.

I've personally always found it very fulfilling to get to know the people behind the artwork that i love, and if you also enjoy that sort of thing, i think you might dig the show. You can find out more about the show and listen to all of the current episodes on artaffairspodcast.com. But if you really want to follow along and stay plugged in, i'd definitely encourage you to subscribe on your favorite podcast platform. You can find the show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon, Pandora… pretty much anywhere that serves up podcasts, you should be able to find and subscribe to the show. You can also connect with Art Affairs on Instagram and Facebook at artaffairspodcast, and on twitter at art_affairs.

So i do hope you'll tune in, and enjoy the show!
