Minisode 03 is out today! Today! Did you hear... TODAY!!  

Join Jay and Tay in this fuller of a minisode as we talk about privilege and Tay's bachelorette party!

Back in action for episode 7!

This episode isn’t Pod Save America (we do love those guys), but we do talk about politics. We don’t think it’s a trigger warning, but if you’re tired of it all stick around for some sweet art history. Tay covers the Black Arts Aesthetic Movement, and the bad ass women who lead the way after WWII. Jay might freak out a little when she realizes Faith Ringgold and Betye Saar are involved. We hope you’ll freak out too (in the best way possible)!

It's like a full episode, but without the research! Mini-sode number 2 is here for your ears. 

Jay and Tay share a little about how Artsy Fartsy was named. No gender reveals for this pod-baby but the naming process sheds some insight into the childhood's of Jaymee and Taylor. If you have any post-covid drink locations for Barb and Holly, you have to let us know!

We are back and fighting Nazi's! 

This episode, Jaymee takes us through the life of artist and resistance fighter Truus Oversteegen. This episode is not for the faint of heart. Truus Oversteegen overcame, fought and survived WWII as a resistance fighter in the Netherlands. Her life post war was filled with art and advocacy. Join Jay and Tay as they celebrate the life and art of this great hero!

We know two weeks is a long time to wait, especially in 2020! Minisodes are coming!!!

Artsy Fartsy is working bringing you "the outtakes."  In this minisode, Jaymee takes Taylor on the very un-researched and full history of the Apostle Paul. In the process of build Artsy Fartsy, there is plenty that we record, but gets cut in order for us to keep episodes under an hour. We hope you enjoy a little bit of history, albeit NOT art history. 

There are no resources for this minis ode. Literally none. So correct away friends- we know we got stuff wrong!
