How The Art World Works

How The Art World Works

Karen Atkinson & Megan Flanders

“How The Art World Works” is an inquiry into the logistics, values, ethics, expectations and operations of how an artist “makes it” in the art world. Unmarred by academic impetus and vocabulary, your hosts Karen Atkinson and Megan Flanders condense experiences commercial, academic and otherwise from their special guests, cut the sludge and get straight to the point: Can someone please tell us how the art world works?

Intros//Gertrude Kasebier

Dismissed for failing to embrace the traditional roles of motherhood, Gertrude was able to successfully navigate the choppy waters between a sustainable art career and responsible matriarch deftly and continued to chart a course for other women to achieve success as well. Her striking images of motherhood are just as relevant today as they were then, echoing the same fears and questions all moms have at some point. Join us while we talk about one of the greatest of all time--Gertrude Kasebier
