Welcome to The Gallery: A Premier Arts Collective Podcast. In this extended trailer, hosts Logan Rice and Gene Krcelic share PAC's heart behind launching The Gallery. This podcast was born out of the simple truth that stories matter and they deserve to be shared. At PAC, we’ve seen firsthand how the arts can bring healing and hope to individuals and populations in our local community of Greenville, SC, and around the world. Behind every painting, song, and workshop is an individual's story. That’s why The Gallery exists. It’s a space to lift up those stories. The stories of everyday people, world-renowned artists, nonprofit and ministry leaders - anyone whose life has been impacted by creativity. In this episode, Logan and Gene talk about:- Why capturing stories is PAC’s true “return on investment”- How the arts intersect with life’s deepest pain and greatest hope- Personal moments where music and visual art shaped their own journeys- What you can expect from future episodes of The GalleryLike walking through an art gallery, each episode will offer something unique, surprising, and hope-filled.
