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.

How do you build a personal project into a highly successful I.P.? How do you protect yourself and your business when partnering with large investors and studios who want to license your work? How do you handle the transition when your deeply personal work becomes a cultural icon?

This week we are talking to
