    Coming soon to the podcast, you can expect a bit of a shake up. Each month, you will still get a full length, deep dive into the wild world of art and art history but you can also begin to look forward to shorter and more frequent, mini episodes. These mini episodes will feature artists you should know about. And here is the other great part - you can participate. Visit us on social media to recommend an artist for these episodes. Tell us who they are and why they are amazing and they just may wind up in an upcoming podcast.
