The Open Call Podcast hosted by Laura Tanner and Anne Stagg, features conversations with contemporary artists about their work. 

In this episode of The Open Call Podcast, we talked with   Lauren Frances Adams. Lauren is a contemporary artist who is well-known for her paintings and installations that  question recorded histories and what is left out. Her  practice is deeply rooted in research and she uses the language of the decorative arts to pull past history into the present. She works across many media including painting, sculpture, and architectural installation. Lauren is a full-time painting faculty member at the Maryland Institute College of Art [MICA] in Baltimore. 

New podcast episodes are released bi-weekly on Thursdays. In addition to the podcast, we keep an active Instagram where we share images of the artwork that we talk about. Discover our Instagram @the_open_call_podcast.
