This week's theme is Art Imitates Life (Imitates Podcasts). The curator is Jessica Stewart, digital marketing manager, contributing writer, and podcast host at My Modern Met.

Why did Jessica choose this theme? "My whole life has been immersed in art, from my studies of art history to having a photography blog to writing about art and culture daily for My Modern Met. At My Modern Met, we try to highlight the best art of today through our articles and the Top Artist podcast. These other art podcasts are also doing their part to support creativity.”
