Live on Sundays at 2pm PST

Welcome! You’ve arrived at the latest and greatest art podcast! Art Condition will be interviewing industry experts, freelance professionals and serious hobbyists to discuss a wide variety of art related topics with a focus on the practice and the business of art, and how we can maintain mental health and well being in the face of all the challenges that artists must confront. Our hope is to expand the pool of resources and information for artists as well as inform (and entertain!) consumers and aficionados who may benefit from learning more about the inner workings of the art world and how much work it takes to make it work.

What does it really mean to “do what you love”? If you choose to leave a career of freelance for studio employment what are you sacrificing and what are you gaining? Whether you work for yourself or for a large studio, How can you equip yourself to negotiate confidently and be fairly compensated for your art?

This week we are talking to
