Working Artists! You are not alone!! Rey Alfonso https://reyalfonsostudio.com/ tried to escape Cuba multiple times as a youth. At 17, he built a boat and set sail across the Atlantic, determined to make a better life for himself. In "Riding the Tide," Rey recounts his literal voyage and the metaphorical tide of finding his way as an immigrant in the US and, ultimately, a successful independent artist. This is an amazing story of resilience you won't want to miss.
Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/, co-host and talk about topics affecting working artists. Each episode is a deep dive into a conversation with a guest who shares their unique experiences as professional independent artists. This week's preamble topics include "the Cannonball Run," Corning Glass Museum, commissions, and hiring help for the "dum-dum" work.
