What if art were less about goals and more about living? The Art Life is a podcast and emerging philosophy exploring what it means to be an artist. Each episode questions what art has to do with life: from nature to notebooks, from happiness to home renovations. Your host Grace Gordon shares stories of how art weaves meaning into all that we do. 'Being an artist' can be a job, but also an identity, a lifestyle, and a reminder to spend time away from screens. In conversation, The Art Life redefines ‘art’ as expansive, inclusive, and grounding. This show is for everyone because everyone can be an artist. Tune in for art chats and interviews. We hope you’re inspired to adopt an art life of your own.
