Welcome to Season 3, of the Art Career podcast. To launch our third season, we hosted a live interview between Emily McElwreath and famed art critic Jerry Saltz at New York University. 

Jerry Saltz is one of the most popular and influential culture writers working today.Since 2006, he has been senior art critic and columnist for New York magazine. Formerly the senior art critic for The Village Voice, he received the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2018 and was nominated for the award in 2001 and 2006. Saltz served as a visiting critic at the School of Visual Arts, Columbia University, Yale University, and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the New York Studio Residency Program, and was the sole advisor for the 1995 Whitney Biennial. Saltz is the recipient of three honorary doctorates in addition to being the author of the NYT best selling book, How To Be An Artist. Cindy Sherman’s review states, “In How to Be an Artist, Jerry Saltz is so right-on it scares me.” Jerry’s most recent book, ART IS LIFE, draws on two decades of work to offer a real-time survey of contemporary art as a barometer of our times.
