It’s here, all. I finally edited it. The last episode of Local Music Shapes Culture. I’m sure Nick was scared his interview was the reason I stopped cold turkey haha.
Nick is a visual artist and teacher based out of Indianapolis, Indiana. After attending art grad school near Detroit and moving back to Indianapolis, Nick and his partner Danielle opened a DIY art gallery right out of their own home. Every month, the home was completely barren aside from art on the walls and gallery food offerings. This art space they ran, Sugar Space, lasted about a year. But their friend who started a gallery around the same time – Storage Space – is still up and running and hosts art shows every month.
Nick and I talk about the importance of having spaces for new and up-and-coming artists to showcase their work in a world where artists face many barriers to entry.
