ART IN JUNE: DELICACIES OF SOCIETY

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In Episode III, June heads to Art Front Galleries in Newark, New Jersey, for a day centered around art, community, creativity—and the mind behind it all.

Hosted by Jae Quinlan and Genesis Tramaine, the exhibition brings together local creatives and provides the backdrop for a deeper conversation about the role mental health plays in the artistic process.

June sits down with Biesie Kofi, The Ghost Jay, and Johnny Sango to explore emotional regulation, the importance of therapy, self-awareness, and the ways passion and mental health are often directly connected. Through each artist’s perspective, the conversation reveals how understanding yourself can become just as important to the creative process as mastering your craft.

It’s an honest look at what it means to create while navigating the emotions, pressures, and experiences that shape us—with art and community serving as spaces for reflection, expression, and connection.

Art. Community. Awareness. Regulation.

In this special episode, Art In June: Delicacies of Society Podcast steps inside the Harlem Fine Arts Show—one of the nation's premier exhibitions celebrating Black art and culture. Rather than focusing on a single guest, this immersive experience brings together the voices of multiple artists, each sharing their creative journey, personal inspirations, and the realities of navigating the art world.

Through candid conversations on the exhibition floor, we explore the intersection of identity, mental health, purpose, and artistic expression while capturing the energy that makes Harlem a cultural cornerstone. This episode is a celebration of community, creativity, and the stories that remind us why art continues to shape society.

In the premiere episode of Art in June, we sit down with Walter Clark, a Boston-based welding specialist and artist whose creative journey began at an early age. Walter shares how his earliest artistic influences helped shape his perspective, laying the foundation for a lifelong relationship with creativity and self-expression.

Throughout the conversation, Walter reflects on the role spirituality plays in his artistic practice and how creative work has become a pathway for personal growth and understanding. He discusses the evolution of his craft—from working in two-dimensional mediums to embracing the challenges and possibilities of three-dimensional sculpture and metalwork—and how that transition transformed both his process and his artistic voice.
