What if art were less about goals and more about living? The Art Life is a podcast and emerging philosophy exploring what it means to be an artist.
Each episode questions what art has to do with life: from nature to notebooks, from happiness to home renovations.
Your host Grace Gordon shares stories of how art weaves meaning into all that we do. 'Being an artist' can be a job, but also an identity, a lifestyle, and a reminder to spend time away from screens.
In conversation, The Art Life redefines ‘art’ as expansive, inclusive, and grounding.
This show is for everyone because everyone can be an artist. Tune in for art chats and interviews. We hope you’re inspired to adopt an art life of your own.
THE ART LIFE RETURNS! As Grace and Xandra celebrate their return to the podcast, they share joy and art life lessons from a year of watching Survivor. What can artists learn from a 50 season game show full of blindsides, social strategy, twists, and endurance challenges? As it turns out, QUITE A LOT! The art life is playing the game, while staying playful.
We’ve all heard it before: THE SHOW MUST GO ON! But how do you keep going when it feels like your vision is falling apart?
In Episode 88, Grace and Xandra discuss their year in projects, surviving Survivor, and what they’ve learned about creative resilience from their artist-mentors.
Trust your vision, no matter the scale! And don’t forget to ask yourself: Is it Fun?
What is "artivism", and how can we practice it in our daily lives? In Episode 79, Grace explores the intersection of artmaking and activism, and shares ideas for creating art in service of social justice movements. Raise questions, channel your rage, and inspire action in your art life.
How will you know when you're ready to make a living off your art? Can you take commercial and influencer gigs without sacrificing your values? In Episode 78, Valerie Rose Lohman (she/they) joins Grace to talk money, imposter syndrome, and financial integrity. The art life is cashing in without selling out.
