Artist Spotlight with Chip Freund
Fun and engaging discussions with contemporary visual artists who answer five simple questions about their artistic journey, media, and inspirations. New episodes drop every other Tuesday.
The Artist Spotlight podcast is on indefinite hiatus effective July 18, 2023. I hope to be able to bring the show back at some point in the future. Thank you to our loyal listeners for your interest and support.
