Art Fight Podcast

What can we say? It has been a great 3 year run, and we did what we set out to do.

Professor Nancy Kidder joins us to talk art/fight/writing, and to say farewells - and artist Kevin Guthrie takes us through his latest work, steeped in nostalgia with a point of view.

Horton has never been one to maintain idle hands. His work in The Alabama Shakes and Concurrence is augmented by constant composition at home, as well as raising a family and remembering to enjoy the non-musical parts of life. Prelude No. 1 is the result of finding that balance of work and life, remembering to embrace No Stress all along the way.

Timing beats speed and accuracy beats power in this special fight week edition of the Art Fight Podcast. In this episode we call in the Irish MMA media to help us decipher all things McGregor, Poirier, Hooker and Chandler. Severe MMA's Sean Sheehan returns to the show to talk tactics in the Main Event. And Hindfight MMA's Ben Kiely parses the Good Guy VS Evil Genius dynamics of Saturday's potentially epic matchup.

The Art Fight Podcast is back! We kick off the new year with the delightful painter and MFA candidate at Yale, Brianna Bass. We talk about higher learning in a pandemic, the connections between color and music, and the age old Gryffindor/Slytherin rivalry.

We talk our Fight of the year in MMA and Art, favorite creative things we didn't do, and saying farewell to a rough year.
