BTW 76: The World Needs Your Art, with arts consultant Beth Pickens
Between the Worlds Podcast
The Collective We Ask of Artists
"I marvel at how much the collective we ask of artists because I do too," she says. "We are not going to navigate and move through all these many collective traumas without a ton of art" Artists who make a full time living, sometimes lucratively so out of creative work, their actual creative production pay a high price,. They know what happens to people who lose everything in order to learn.
In this episode, in honor of the creative magic of the Court of Cups, we speak with art consultant Beth Pickens, author of Make Your Art No Matter What, and Your Art Will Save Your Life; and host of the podcast, Mind Your Practice.. Talking with Beth inspired us to roll up our sleeves and recommit to our creative work, and we know it will for you as well. We talk about why artists are important, how to keep making work even if you're feeling depressed or anxious, and how to build a life that can support your creativity. We know you're going to love it! Join us!
