Join Elizabeth in a great conversation with artists Aunia Kahn and Michael de Vena. Among discussions of their art, they also talk about gatekeeping (and how it's not always a bad thing,) helping lesser known artists get a leg up in an ocean of big fish, running a gallery, a podcast, and a new publication. And more. Grab a snack and sit down and tuck in. Or drive. Or however you enjoy listening. We don't judge.
