About this podcast
The art podcast sharing the beautiful and brutal truths about building a creative life. International artist Kate Florence hosts honest chats with inspiring and successful artists all around the world, answering the questions no one else talks about: money, creative burnout, galleries, and actionable strategies to build a sustainable creative practice.
We get into the nitty-gritty of the parts that don't usually make it onto the feed — the breakthroughs, redirections and the hard-won lessons of building a real art career. From art business to artist mindset. Nothing is off the table. Because the more openly we share, the better the creative journey gets for all of us.
