Today's artsy investigation takes a look into the WHY and HOW behind "ART and JOY", and oh so much more. If you've ever wanted to write a book but aren't sure how to get started, or you're curious about why I made the jump from adult art books to kids' books, all of the answers await!

The Jealous Curator : ART FOR YOUR EAR

ON THE CASE (EP 4) : the story behind the story

If you don't go big, do you have to go home? We're investigating this question, but that's not all. We'll also explore how to "level up" by reaching out for a bit of help ... specifically PR help. Since these are two pretty big questions, I've brought in TWO creative experts to help me crack this case!

ON THE CASE (EP 3) : they told her to "GO BIG"

Today's investigation is a two-parter ... A) When every day of the week feels too busy for creativity, how do you prevent freezing up when there is a window of time? And B) How do you know if/when your hobby could become your everyday jobby? I'll be joined by a creative expert to help me solve this one!

ON THE CASE (EP 2) : every day troubles

I'm kicking off my new series of podcast episodes! Rolling up my sleeves to investigate (and solve) the questions and concerns sent in by artists from my community. I am ON THE CASE ... (PS I'll be joined by a mystery guest, who's an expert on beauty, to weigh in on today's investigation.)

PETAH COYNE : a third, a third, a third

I'm sharing a special preview of a podcast I've been enjoying, Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, from Pushkin Industries. Talk Easy is a weekly interview podcast, where writer Sam Fragoso invites actors, writers, activists, and politicians to come to the table and speak from the heart in ways you probably haven't heard from them before. Driven by curiosity, he's had revealing conversations with everyone from George Saunders and Cate Blanchett to Ocean Vuong and Gloria Steinem. In this preview, Sam talks with performance artist Marina Abramović about her relationship to Ukraine, creating art out of hardship, the curiosity that propels her forward, and how her seminal piece, The Artist Is Present, lives on today. You can listen to Talk Easy at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/talkeasyears.

ART FOR YOUR EAR brings you stories from some of my favorite contemporary artists. When I studied Art History, the best part was, well, the gossip. I loved finding out why artists did certain things, what was going on in their personal lives, and behind-the-scenes details about other artists they knew and worked with. This podcast is exactly that ... inside-scoop stories from the artsiest people I know. You'll hear first-hand from these talented, successful, full-time artists (who also happen to be regular people with hilarious stories) BEFORE they’re in the Art History books. - Danielle (aka The Jealous Curator)
