@mikewindyart and @omaribooker sat down for a nice dinner and conversation last week. They talked about how that met through a @childdefender1973 funded project when mikewindy was teaching at Maplewood High School. They have stayed in touch for over a decade and this conversation highlights that friendship, mentorship, and respect of each other as artists in the Nashville Art Ecosystem and beyond as Omari's exhibiting all of the United States including his great exhibit currently @elephantgallery We hope you give it a listen. #omaribookerartist #drawingsouth #drawingsouthpodcast

For almost a year @mikewindyart and @mandyrogershorton_studio had studios next to each other @arcadearts. This allow for many conversations about art, music, parenting, teaching, and art. We recently found the time post residency to have a nice long chat and uncovered a very interesting connection about our grad school experiences. We talk about her practice and how she is slowly becoming more and more comfortable in it and a whole lot more. We hope you will give it a listen.
