"Stitchers" was a one night event that happened on Friday, May 23 at Future Tenant. The aim of the exhibit was to investigate the artistic process of sewing from the vantage point of five different artists. In this episode I talk with 3 of the artists from "Stitchers": Vontinka (Jennifer Bailey), Joseph Martin, and Suz Pisano. Then I am joined by the new directors of Future Tenant, Jamie Leonardi and Mary Sheridan, as they tell us what we can expect from the upcoming year under their rule!

I am a Heather is an art showcase composed of artwork by and about people with the first name Heather. In this episode we talk with the curator Heather Mallak and communications coordinator Heather Jarrot about the process of finding Heathers, the response to the show so far, and what their name means to them. To kick the episode off we go on an audio tour of the space and talk about each artist and their piece. More info @ www.futuretenant.org

Taste Matters was an unusual collection of art works that were purchased in thrift stores specifically for that exhibit. I spoke with Robert Raczka and a few art collectors at the closing of this event where the public was invited to come and take a piece of the artwork home. I also got to catch up with Kim Larkin and Lindsay Nakles to ask them about their time so far as directors of FT. More info @ www.futuretenant.org
