Retirement is often associated with sitting back, relaxing, and pursuing hobbies that you might not have had time for before. Many retirees also use their new-found free time to expand their minds.

No matter what stage of life you’re in, it’s never too late to find joy in art. Art is a broad topic with a vast and fascinating history that you may not know about. Jennifer Dasal joins us on this episode to share how art can be accessible, fun, and interesting at any age.

Jennifer is the Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the North Carolina Museum of Art. She’s also an author and creator of the ArtCurious podcast, where she reveals unexpected, slightly odd, and strangely wonderful stories hidden in art history.
