Descripción

In this episode, we hang out with the elusive street artist EMPR CTZNS at Jerry's Jug House. For the first time ever, I've altered a guest's voice to preserve his anonymity. You might recognize his signature "Alien" artwork on the walls of Cincinnati. He also spreads his socially conscious art on bus stop benches, yard signs, and street signs all around the city. We delve into his art, his creative process, and the motivations behind his work.

episode Episode 43: Hanging w/ Colleen Houston at King Pigeon artwork

Episode 43: Hanging w/ Colleen Houston at King Pigeon

On this season finale, I had the pleasure to sit down with the CEO and Artistic Director of Artworks, Colleen Houston. In April 2020, Tamara Harkavy, the founder and artistic director of ArtWorks, announced her departure from the organization she had led since 1996, leaving a significant gap. Colleen Houston, who had been with ArtWorks since its early days, was seen as the natural successor due to her deep enthusiasm and dedication. Houston's journey began as an 18-year-old apprentice and evolved into her becoming the CEO and artistic director, focusing on building relationships within the community and expanding ArtWorks' impact. Under her leadership, ArtWorks has continued to thrive, with initiatives like murals and the "Blink" festival, and she envisions further growth, including year-round employment and expanded opportunities for young artists. ArtWorks, founded in 1996 and now a $2.6 million nonprofit, is a leader in public art and workforce development in Cincinnati.
