Episode #439 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth have a long overdue one. We're finally highlighting the career of Michiru Yamane, a composer whose name has become inseparable from gothic grandeur even as her catalog stretches far beyond the castle walls she's best known for. After studying composition at Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music, where she built her thesis around Bach, Yamane joined Konami in 1988 and spent over two decades there, composing for more than forty games. From tiny handheld chips and loud arcade cabinets to the orchestral heights of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, she proved again and again that a classical foundation could bend to almost any hardware, genre, or mood. We're tracing the full arc of Yamane's journey, from one of her earliest credited jobs in 1990 all the way to the Castlevania theme that launched her legend. Along the way, we stop in on lush RPG worldbuilding, a beat-'em-up that never left Japan, a jazz-soaked fighting game, an indie love letter to the exact genre she helped define, and the freelance era that saw her wandering happily outside her comfort zone. From haunted halls to lounge-jazz curtain calls, this Composer Appreciation episode is dedicated to an artist whose fingerprints are all over the medium, whether you realized it or not.

Blurb:   Daniel Tucker interviews Georgia Kotretsos about her work with the ΤΗΕ ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY which is conceived of as a Arts & Culture Research Lab Observatorium with projects throughout Greece and beyond. This interview was conducted at the Twenty-First International Conference on the Arts in Society conference "Modeling Life Systems: Art, Algorithms, Ecologies" at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece.    Bio: Georgia Kotretsos is a visual artist, researcher, the founder of the nonprofit organization THE ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY, Arts & Culture Research Lab Observatorium, in Athens, Greece and the publisher of TTS Press, which operates in the field of cultural studies and art research in Greece, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. TTS focuses on the Greek periphery, the islands, and remote areas. It creates interdisciplinary teams tailored for each project, working collaboratively on site-specific intangible projects that uncover the unique aspects of each locale. TTS publications are available at the following bookstores: Politeia, Ianos, Museum of Cycladic Art, Iambos, Pixel,and Public (online). Through these endeavors, THE TEΛΟΣ SOCIETY highlights the importance of contemporary art and cultural heritage while fostering new creative perspectives and audiences. She holds an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (USA, 2004), where she studied on a full merit-based scholarship, and a BFA from the Durban Institute of Technology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2000), where she relocated as a teenager during the country's post-apartheid transition. Her work systematically critiques conventional theoretical positions on viewing and perceiving artworks, seeking—through liberatory and anarchic visual practices—to reveal that the experience of viewing is site-specific, and that the emancipation of the viewer is a crucial source of artistic knowledge. Her research-based approach—whether in the form of artwork, text, or interview—resists traditional forms and historical modes of acquiring knowledge, proposing alternative methodologies for its creation and reception. Her work has been presented both in Greece and internationally, including at the Onassis Art Center and the Asia Society in New York, the 4th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, the Tinguely Museum (Basel), La Kunsthalle (Mulhouse), the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki), and the Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis. She has held seven solo exhibitions and participated in numerous significant international initiatives, including the 56th Venice Biennale, MediaImpact in Moscow, and FIELD MEETING in New York. From 2006 to 2010, she co-founded the independent art space Boots Contemporary Art Space in St. Louis, USA—an alternative contemporary art laboratory—and served as editor-in-chief of BootPrint, a biannual journal by and for artists. From 2009 to 2013, she served as a columnist for Art21 Magazine of PBS Arts Feature in New York, with her column Inside the Artist's Studio. In 2014, her writing was also published on LABKULTUR.TV in Germany. In 2019, Kotretsos published a report on the arts in Greece reflecting on the decade of recession 2008-18 entitled "Athens is the Only Cave in the World that has a Skylight" for the Field Journal in the US.  Her works are held in private collections, including the National Bank of Greece, the Mamidakis Foundation, and others.

As Co-Founder and Director of Actual Size Los Angeles, Siegel championed contemporary art and audience engagement for over a decade. In addition, she worked in museum education and administration at multiple art, music, and culture institutions in Los Angeles. Michael Flechtner [https://www.flektro.com/index] is a neon artist based in Los Angeles, employing his mastery of three-dimensional sculpture, employment of visual puns, and his mentorship of future generations of neon benders. Born in Tiffin, Ohio, Flechtner had an early interest in colored light and electronics while a Bachelors of Fine Art student at Columbus College of Art and Design and during his Masters of Fine Art studies at Wichita State University. In 1991 Flechtner presented his first solo exhibition at MONA. The exhibition was titled Ecce Signum, Latin for “Behold the Sign.” The title was emblematic of the artist's play with a medium often associated with signage as well as his interest in symbols. Now, thirty-four years later, the title for his follow-up exhibition translates as “Behold the Craftsman.” The title serves as a testament to the simultaneous humility and staggering skill neon craftspeople cultivate in order to create their works. Flechtner's best-known public work in Los Angeles is the Neon Aquarium at Olympic and Sawtelle completed in 1998. In 1999 he became a J. Paul Getty Trust Fund Fellow. He was commissioned by the US Postal Service in 2011 to design a stamp for the Forever series: the Celebrate! Stamp. The original work of art is held in the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.

"Automated Paradise" The Bristol-born Jon Klein got his start with the late-seventies post-punk outfit Europeans. After their break-up he formed the porto-goth band Specimen, who put out a handful of winning singles, but splintered before an album could be released. In 1987 Klein joined Siouxsie and the Banshees and went on to record three records with them: Peepshow, Superstition and The Rapture. Although Klein left the band in 1994, from there he moved from strength to strength, playing and recording with Shriekbak, Thomas Dolby, Talvin Singh and Space Tribe. He toured with Sinead O'Connor as her lead guitarist in 1995 and he played everywhere from Pinkpop to Glastonbury to Lollapalooza. Klein is one of those guys who has always stayed busy: he played in the band SNAIL, toured Southeast Asia as the musical director for Dr. Penguin's Magic Circus, went to art school and knocked out a degree in Fine Art and Critical Theory, has his own production company called Ground Control, co- produced an album for Fangoria, which hit Number One in Spain, composed soundtracks for film and theatre companies and played in the supergroup, Spammed with Horace Panter, Rat Scabies and Terry Edwards. He's also a filmmaker, an international fine artist and he is a member of the Tuned In Community Music Project with Jah Wobble. Klein and Jah Wobble have put out several fabulous albums, including A Brief History of Now and their latest effort, Automated Paradise. A jittery blast of searing post-punk and cultural dread, Automated Paradise finds Klein in fine form, slashing brilliantly away through each composition with fiery resolve. www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) IG + BLUESKY + THREADS: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Camp Caribou near Barry's Bay, Ontario, on August 25th, 2026.Today, the Gospel speaks about the distaste that Jesus had for those who relied on appearances, on image, on looking good to others. Those who spent time cultivating a public image. It is a rather blistering accusation.Matt 23, 24-26: Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You who clean the outside of cup and dish and leave the inside full of extortion and intemperance. Blind Pharisee! Clean the inside of cup and dish first so that the outside may become clean as well.'Music: Regi Stone, All Heavens Declare.Thumbnail: Rembrandt, Jesus preaching.

What if you could hire someone who looks just like you to go to church in your place? Sit in your seat, hug the pastor, take sermon notes—and nobody notices? It's funny…until you realize how often we show up physically while our hearts stay home. This episode is about faith, authenticity, spiritual autopilot—and why God doesn't want the polished, churchy stand-in version of you. He wants the real you. And remember: mannequins may be getting more realistic…but they're still terrible at altar calls and having compassion for others. www.sueduffield.com mailto:radiosue@me.com www.childfund.org/sueduffield

Join Talk Cosmos as we explore the 4° Pisces Lunar Eclipse occurring on August 27–28. As the second celestial marker in this eclipse pair, this show picks up where our August 2nd episode left off, diving deeper into the August 12 Solar Eclipse at 20° Leo.Navigating the EnergyThe Pisces Lunar Eclipse focuses on what part of a dream or vision we must ground—avoiding fantasy—to discern the exact skills needed to transform ideas into reality.

With the nodes having entered their new cycle, they hold at the critical 29th degree for over two months (July 26 through October 9). The 4° Pisces 54' Lunar Eclipse occurs at 12:18 a.m. EDT on August 28, and at 9:8 p.m. PDT on August 27.The Essence of the LuminaryThe Moon regulates how the past—reflected through the Sun's light—flows into the present.

Get Out the Vote (GOTV) efforts are one of the most impactful ways 501(c)(3) public charities can strengthen civic participation and help ensure communities have the tools and information they need to make their voices heard. From voter registration and education to reminders and access assistance, (c)(3) organizations can play an important role in helping people navigate the voting process while remaining nonpartisan. On this episode, we explore best practices for designing effective GOTV efforts, including how nonprofits can engage their communities, train staff and volunteers, and navigate election-related rules. Attorneys for this Episode: Monika Graham Natalie Ossenfort Victor Rivera 501(c)(3)s Must Remain Nonpartisan Internal Revenue Code: 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in partisan political activity (activity on behalf of, or in opposition to, any candidate for public office). Keeping GOTV Efforts 501(c)(3) Safe Effective voter outreach for 501(c)(3)s is focused on expanding participation, not influencing who someone votes for. Therefore, (c)(3)s should refrain from using messages that support or oppose candidates, political parties, or groups of candidates. In addition, they should: ·       Make voter outreach activities available to all eligible voters ·       Ensure GOTV efforts are not coordinated with candidates or campaigns ·       Avoid targeting communities because they belong to a particular political party, voted a particular way in the past, or because they vote in a district where the race is likely to be close The IRS uses a facts and circumstances test when determining whether a 501(c)(3) has violated the rules against partisan electioneering. Building a Strong GOTV Effort ·       Start with your community. Use existing relationships and trusted communication channels to reach the people your organization serves. Connect with voters through tools and spaces they already use, such as text messages, social media, email newsletters, community events, and local partners. ·      Plan ahead. Start by understanding your community's needs. Then, establish goals and timelines, create written policies and training materials, and train staff and volunteers on nonpartisan rules, including the difference between organizational activities and personal political activity. ·       Build partnerships. Collaborate with community organizations, libraries, schools, faith-based organizations, and other trusted institutions to expand outreach and maximize impact. Just remember that if you are partnering with any organizations or entities that are not 501(c)(3)s, all of your collective work needs to remain nonpartisan. ·       Track and evaluate your efforts. Document outreach activities and program decisions, assess what worked, and incorporate lessons learned to strengthen future GOTV efforts. GOTV Activities 501(c)(3) Public Charities Can Conduct 501(c)(3) public charities can support voter participation by: ·       Registering voters through nonpartisan voter registration drives o   NOTE: While this is true for public charities, private foundations have more restrictive rules related to voter registration activities and funding. ·       Reminding people about upcoming elections and encouraging them to participate ·       Sharing nonpartisan information that speaks to the voting process, including registration deadlines, polling locations, early voting, vote-by-mail options, and voter identification requirements ·       Helping reduce barriers to voting by providing nonpartisan assistance, such as transportation to the polls, language access resources, or accommodations for voters with disabilities Remember, some voter registration rules and other voter assistance requirements can vary by state and have probably been updated since the last election cycle, so it is important to train your staff and volunteers on the applicable (and current) rules. Just Remember: ·       In order to remain nonpartisan, 501(c)(3)s should not suggest who people should vote for in upcoming candidate elections. ·       It's not just the Internal Revenue Code you need to think about. Federal election law and state laws also have a lot to say about how nonprofits can engage in election season advocacy. o   For example, federal election law prohibits giving someone something of value in exchange for voting. o   State law will likely regulate how you can interact with voters at polling sites, how and when voters can vote by mail (vs. in-person), and more! Best Practices: ·       Provide training to staff and volunteers so they know how to effectively engage in GOTV work without running afoul of the Internal Revenue Code, federal election laws, or state law. ·       Develop and implement an organizational election season policy that is reviewed and signed by all staff, volunteers, and others who could potentially speak on behalf of your organization. Key Takeaways: ·       GOTV efforts are a powerful way for 501(c)(3) public charities to advance civic participation and strengthen communities. ·       501(c)(3) public charities can encourage people to vote while remaining nonpartisan. ·       Thoughtful planning, training, and compliance practices help (c)(3)s strengthen civic participation in their communities ·       Effective GOTV efforts can engage communities by leveraging trusted relationships, reducing barriers to participation, and providing clear, nonpartisan voting information.   Resources: Want to Conduct or Fund a Voter Registration Drive?

You've taught your children "stop, run, tell" when a bad picture appears. But what happens when the nudity is in a Renaissance painting at a museum, or in a classical homeschool curriculum? Do the same rules apply, or is there room for nuance?In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz works through a question she admits she's found genuinely hard. What actually separates a Renaissance sculpture made to highlight the beauty of God's design from pornography made for arousal? At what age can a child understand that difference, and what should you say before then? She walks through what to do at each stage, how to prepare a child before a museum visit or a field trip, and how she handles those galleries herself, then invites listeners to weigh in with their own biblically grounded thinking.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area.  This week, host Emily chats with Miguel Novelo, a multidisciplinary artist from the Yucatan, Mexico, now based in the Bay Area.

Inspired by the cenotes and caverns of the Yucatan — underwater cave systems formed by the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago — the work explores Mayan cosmology, the cycles of nature, and what Miguel calls "techno shamanism": the use of emerging technology to evoke shamanic experiences and altered states of consciousness.

Currently working on algorithmic movies, technoshammanic installations, thermodynamic hypnotism, and friendly computer viruses.  Novelo earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts  from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2018, followed by a Master of Fine Arts from Stanford University in 2022.

Join Talk Cosmos as we explore the 20° Leo Solar Eclipse occurring a few weeks ahead on August 12. To give each of these powerful celestial markers sufficient attention, we will cover the August 12 Solar Eclipse in this episode and dive into the August 27 Pisces Lunar Eclipse later in the month.Nodal Dynamics & Critical DegreesThe Lunar Nodes move in reverse (clockwise around the zodiac) and have just entered the Aquarius North Node and Leo South Node. This New Moon in Leo comes into orb of a conjunction with the Leo South Node, marking the second solar eclipse of the year and the first under this new nodal axis.Furthermore, the nodes will hold at the critical 29th degree for over two months (from July 26 through October 9). This intense degree echoes the remaining residue of the previous Pisces-Virgo nodal cycle, which permeates through this pair of upcoming eclipses—the Solar Eclipse in Leo and the Lunar Eclipse tipping into Pisces.Navigating the EnergiesWe may feel a bit cautious yet deeply driven to realize our dreams and visions. Meanwhile, our inner life spark thrives on activating and nourishing personal relationships. What we value—and seek to align emotionally with our past—seems to evolve through immediate experience. Ultimately, we are deeply transmuting the foundational strategies and wisdom behind our core desires.Taking time to listen to our heart's internal direction recalibrates how we support our life path. Leo represents heart-centered leadership. By refining subtle, negatively intentional motives—such as unexamined anger or vengeance—we clear the path for fulfilling, authentic Leo leadership. Life invites us to use our creative gifts for the collective good, showing us where to release the ego's subtle demands for entitlement or arrogance so we can step fully into updated leadership roles within our communities. The Essence of the LuminaryAs our most personal luminary, the Moon regulates how the past flows into the present. It allows us to experience emotions, habits, and instinctual feelings, offering energetic input that helps piece together new meaning. In doing so, it supports our ongoing life story as we grow, heal, and evolve in mind, body, heart, and spirit.The ConversationJoining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i, will be Talk Cosmos member Amanda Pierce of Seattle, Washington.Connect with inspiration!

Join host Sue Rose Minahan as she welcomes Evolutionary Astrologer Marie O'Neill to explore the new Aquarius-Leo Nodal Shift, which begins its 18-month cycle this Sunday.The lunar nodal cycle repeats on average every 18.6 years (roughly 18 years and 7 to 11 months). The North Node last occupied Aquarius from December 19, 2007, to August 21, 2009—a period centered around a "breakdown to rebuild" theme. However, today's planetary alignments and signs completely reframe the evolutionary homework of this upcoming nodal cycle.Experiencing the destiny path of the Aquarius North Node means learning to channel our inherent creative spark for the greater good. This requires releasing the need for personal validation, ego approval, or acting from a place of entitlement.The Power of Astrological StorytellingSince prehistoric times, humanity has used myths, stories, and analogies to find common ground and bridge complex concepts. With Jupiter transiting Leo for the next year, its theatrical energy will naturally amplify our desire to display and express beliefs through the art of storytelling.Drawing from Marie's recently completed Masterclasses on Astrological Storytelling at Kepler College, Sue and Marie will discuss how sharing stories and metaphors can bridge deeper astrological meaning to strengthen interpretation.Connect with inspiration!

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the French portrait painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755 - 1842). From her teens she delighted her high society subjects in and around Paris, notably Marie Antoinette who she painted around 30 times, and she invariably found ways to show her sitters at their best. Some critics were affronted that she, a young woman, dared paint at all and, when they saw how good her portraits were, some spread a rumour that surely this could not really be her work and she must have had a secret male lover finishing her portraits in a studio. The French Revolution forced Vigée Le Brun out of France and so she set off from one European court to another to find more success from Naples to Vienna to St Petersburg and to London, eventually settling back in France. Today her works are on show in major galleries around the world.WithRosalind Polly Blakesley Master of Pembroke College and Professor of Russian and European Art at the University of CambridgeRobert Wenley Deputy Director of Collections and Research at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of BirminghamAnd Francesca Whitlum-Cooper Curator of Later Italian, Spanish and French Paintings at The National Gallery, London.Producer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Joseph Baillio, Katharine Baetjer and Paul Lang (eds), Vigée Le Brun (exhibition catalogue in English, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2016)Joseph Baillio et al., Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun: 1755-1842 (exhibition catalogue in French, Grand Palais, Paris, 2015/16)Rosalind P.

Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A '90s Rock Memoir presents an intimate look behind the scenes of an iconic era through the ever-reflective lens of musician Melissa Auf der Maur. In this debut memoir, Auf der Maur chronicles her journey through alternative music — from staffing ticket windows at local venues to navigating era-defining triumphs and turmoil under global spotlights. A bohemian upbringing in Montreal and an early connection to music led her to put down roots in the local scene, working as a cassette DJ and showing up for bands like Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Pavement, and Sonic Youth. A serendipitous sequence sets the stage for the next big step — a thrown beer bottle at a show, a long-shot fan letter to a PO Box, and before you know it Auf der Maur's band Tinker is opening for The Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan is passing along a personal recommendation to Courtney Love. In a whirlwind of life-changing moments, Auf der Maur joins Hole for their 1994 Live Through This world tour just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's previous bassist Kristen Pfaff. Auf der Maur is swiftly flung into the eye of a hurricane, becoming part of a band plowing through grief by way of art on a brutally global stage. Auf der Maur offers a backstage view to the raw reality of this tour, her relationship with Courtney Love in the wake of tragedy, and what kept Hole from spinning out of control. And the show goes on from there – messy and unwieldy, but bringing compassionate nuance to the nostalgia of the '90s alternative era and Auf der Maur's personal journey to the other side of it. Part rock memoir, part travel diary, part psychedelic scrapbook – Even the Good Girls Will Cry stacks rockstar stories of the last analog decade alongside the intensely intimate musings of an artist who lived through the chaos. Melissa Auf der Maur is an artist, producer, and musician known for her time as the bassist of the bands Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins. She is the co-founder and director of Basilica Hudson, a nonprofit multidisciplinary art center known for music festivals, film screenings, artist-in-residence programs, and community involvement. Her other projects include the solo albums Auf der Maur and Out of Our Minds, as well as photography collections shown by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and featured in publications including Spin, Elle, and Nylon. Gillian G. Gaar is an award-winning journalist and author of over 20 books. She was a senior editor at the legendary Northwest music publication The Rocket for fourteen years. She served as project consultant on Nirvana's 4 box set With the Lights Out and as editorial assistant on Krist Novoselic's memoir Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy! Her books include She's a Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll, Entertain Us: The Rise of Nirvana, Return of the King: Elvis Presley's Great Comeback, and World Domination: The Sub Pop Records Story.  Buy the Book Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A '90s Rock Memoir Third Place Books

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start here: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____Some brains cannot sit still long enough to be careful. Ella Fielding found a machine that runs on exactly that.Ella has a BA in Fine Art Sculpture, a Masters in Fine Art, and a chainsaw operator's license, and she uses all three to turn whole trees into monumental sculpture. But she left school at 14 because it was too traumatic to stay. She was quick with her hands and slow to get anything out of her head onto paper, and for most of her life nobody named why. She was 38, running her own art business and drowning in the admin, when a work coach kept mentioning ADHD and she kept insisting she was just dyslexic. Turns out it was both.Now she carves outside in full gear, running a machine most people won't touch and making it behave like a scalpel. Not despite the ADHD. Because of it. A chainsaw does not let you drift or second-guess or wait for the perfect plan. It demands you be right here, right now, which is the one place her brain has always worked best.In this episode, Tracy and Ella get into the school years that nearly broke her, the "poof" moment where a thought vanishes the second she reaches for a pen, why immediate and physical beats slow and planned for a brain like hers, and how she reads her own overwhelm as a signal instead of a character flaw.If you have ever been told you were too much, this one might reframe the whole thing.Resources:Website: https://ellafielding.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ella.fielding.sculptorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellafieldingsculptorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ella-fielding-sculptorSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:

We were made by a Maker to be makers. Bruce Herman joins Evan Rosa to diagnose the quiet illness of a passive consumer culture that trains us to sit in front of screens and scroll and take, rather than make. “When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.“ His cure is stubbornly ordinary: go make a loaf of bread, grab a stick and start carving, make a good meal or a good cocktail for the person visiting you—anything is resistance to this hypnotic, passive culture. From episode 216 of the podcast, in this segment, Herman traces what it means to receive art not as a consumer but through submission—not master and slave, but subject to subject, that vulnerable openness that lets a poem or a painting change your life. He reflects on making as human wholeness, the difference between art and info-tainment, why suffering can rip us open to beauty (from Walker Percy's writing to Christian Wiman's poetry), Rilke's charge that “you must change your life,“ hospitality as the ultimate act of art, and Herman's closing counsel to make out of love, not fear. Episode Highlights We are in relationship, and we were made by a Maker to be makers. If we let that go somehow and we become mere consumers, I think we begin to enter into some kind of illness of one sort or another. When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy. And I don't want to make an idol out of health either, but I do think our culture is unhealthy right now. We think of it as, we're discerning buyers. But the fact is we're being turned into very passive creatures. One of the best things you can do is go make a loaf of bread. Go out and grab a stick and start carving it. Anything is resistance to this sort of hypnotic passive culture. If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it. You have to let yourself go and enter into what might feel like a bad risk of being changed. Not submit in a sense that I'm a master and you're my slave. It's more like you're a subject and I'm a subject. Mutual submission. We're so guarded so much of the time that it takes something catastrophic to open us up again. Do away with the nonsense that you're not an artist. You can't help it. You were made by a Maker to be a maker. End of story. The ultimate act of art is hospitality, where you're welcoming someone in, to make something beautiful for them. Challenge the bad news with a recognition that daily kindnesses are being poured out everywhere, on every street. Don't give in to fear, because it's not a basis for anything good. About Bruce Herman Bruce Herman is a painter, writer, and educator whose work has been shown in more than 150 exhibitions across the United States and internationally, and held in collections including the Vatican Museums in Rome, the Cincinnati Museum of Fine Arts, and the Grunewald Print Collection of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. He taught at Gordon College for nearly four decades, where he founded the art department and held the Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts. His books include “Through Your Eyes“ and “Ordinary Saints,“ and he was a collaborator on the touring “QU4RTETS“ project with Makoto Fujimura, Christopher Theofanidis, and Jeremy Begbie.

The illusion of control while being trained to take Screens and scrolling Political theater and infotainment—very little real journalism left, mostly consumer entertainment Neil Postman and amusing ourselves to death as the frame for the diagnosis Making as resistance—bake bread, carve a stick, do anything against the hypnotic pull Reception as submission—a word out of fashion, reclaimed away from enslavement Mutual submission—the erotic analogy, and desire's corruption in the sexual sins To receive a poem you must risk being changed Rilke's Grecian torso and the charge, you must change your life Subject to subject, not master and slave Walker Percy's museum story—a painting that blazed into life, then went quiet Bringing a friend to re-enter the original encounter vicariously The workman through the skylight—catastrophe reopens what habit had closed Guardedness—why it can take suffering to break us open Christian Wiman—cancer, poetry, and being ripped open toward receptivity You might be changed, and it might not be what you wanted; the risk of real encounter Make from love, not fear Do away with the nonsense that you're not an artist Everyday making—a loaf, a meal, a good cocktail, hospitality Hospitality as the ultimate art; George Steiner's Real Presences and courtesia Beauty can be complex, not merely pretty Fear-mongers left and right—and why not to listen Daily kindnesses—the neighbor, the shoveled driveway, the half-decent casserole Welcome to the festival; let the festival begin #BruceHerman #MakersByNature #ForTheLifeOfTheWorld #FaithAndArt #TheologyOfMaking #ArtAndFaith #Creativity #Hospitality #MakeNotConsume #YaleFaithAndCulture

In this week's episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I sit down with artist Mary Harris, for a fascinating conversation about the fine art world. While we usually spend a lot of time talking about murals, this episode takes a different direction as Mary shares what it really takes to build a career as an exhibiting fine artist. Mary is a Los Angeles-based artist who has worked with brands like Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Home Depot, Hyatt, Cinemark, Pressed Juicery, and more. She has built a career that blends commercial projects with gallery exhibitions, collectors, residencies, and the international fine art market. We discuss what it takes to break into the fine art world and how artists can position themselves for gallery representation. Mary explains why building a cohesive body of work matters and how genuine relationships with other artists often lead to the biggest opportunities. She also shares practical advice on pricing artwork, finding grants and residencies, choosing professional materials, and creating a career that balances commercial work with personal creative projects. If you've ever wondered what life looks like beyond commissions and murals—or if you've dreamed about seeing your work in galleries and museums—this conversation will help you better understand that path.

My friend Alisha Anderson (graduate degrees in Environmental Humanities and Masters of Fine Arts, Artist, Writer, Adjunct Professor, mid-30s), joins us to share her queer story center around four main themes: Love is easy when it's based on sameness. The true test of love is difference. Time is one of God's greatest tools. I've come to believe in a God who does not wish to sacrifice me, but grow me. We need each other—in both our suffering and our joy. As part of these themes, Alisha shares unique and powerful insights are deeply moving—and even after 900+ episodes are unique. Insights that I believe will help other queer Latter-day Saints find hope as they bravely move forward—and insights that help allies/parents better support/love our queer friends. Thank you, Alisha, for being on the podcast. I learned so much from you! You are so emotional/spiritual/intellectually mature and thoughtful. You are a gift to our community.

A fifth-generation quilter from the legendary community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, Loretta Pettway Bennett turns well used cloth into her own expressions of color and community. Loretta Pettway Bennett began her quilting journey as a child, threading needles for her mother as she sewed scraps into bedcoverings. The women in the town of Gee's Bend pieced quilt tops and got together to hand quilt their work, a tradition that spans decades. Loretta's first quilt was an ambitious Flower Garden hexagon design that she cut and sewed entirely on her own when she was 12 years old. Half a century later, quilting is woven into Loretta's life, as it is for her sister, aunts, cousins, and ancestors. Although quilting has always been part of her life, Loretta's vision is uniquely her own. In the early 2000s, Loretta decided to embrace her own style and gave herself the freedom to enjoy making quilts in her own way. She decided to resist rules that seams line up perfectly or that only certain colors go together. Instead, she lets the quilt make itself and invites the colors to talk to each other. Working with thrifted and gifted material, she chooses the fabrics that speak to her (bright colors, few prints) and especially loves the pieces that have been well used and mended. The contemporary interest in thrifting and mending is a simple fact of life to Loretta, as natural as eating. Several of her designs include denim jeans, patched knees and all. In 2002, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston mounted a major exhibition of quilts from Gee's Bend, and Loretta saw her quilting traditions in a new light. A quilt that her mother made to cover her bed, on which Loretta and her sister had laid on the floor, was described as art in one of the country's most important art museums. Standing in the exhibit, she says, “. . . the more I looked at the quilts, the more I started seeing what [viewers] saw in the quilts.” Today, Loretta's own quilts are part of museum, corporate, and U.S. State Department collections and have appeared in 19 U.S. Embassies worldwide. Her work has been recognized with numerous prizes and fellowships, most recently a 2026 Maxwell/Hanrahan Award in Craft. Loretta teaches quilting both to children in her community and through Vacation with an Artist, a program where crafters work in her workshop and learn the community's methods. She plans to put her recent award money toward a coloring book of her quilts, an echo of her childhood wish to be a painter. Having spent decades painting with fabric, she loves to see others playing with color for themselves through her classes and is excited to see their interpretations in her coloring book.

She received her BA/BFA from the Department of Fine Arts and Arts Sciences at the University of Ioannina Greece (2015). She is an MFA Fine Arts graduate at Parsons, The New School (2019).

Hope Giselle joins us to talk about her incredible journey to becoming a sought-after activist and speaker. Hope began her advocacy work fighting for inclusion and access for herself as an undergraduate at Alabama A&M University. Hope founded the university's first LGBTQ+ organization and later became the first openly trans woman to earn a Master of Fine Arts from the university. She has since built a decade-long career as an activist, author, speaker, and nonprofit founder (AllowMe). Hope has proven that nothing is off limits to her, and she has committed her life's work to ensuring the same for all others. During our conversation, we talked about the incredible life she's built fighting against marginalization, and how she manages to look so good doing it.During our conversation, Hope told us what it was like growing up in Miami and having others project their beliefs about her gender and sexuality onto her at five years old. We talked about how growing up surrounded by her stylish Caribbean family of Cuban and Haitian descent shaped her ideas about femininity and womanhood. She shared that her journey of defining and redefining herself was difficult, but at 19, a video of Janet Mock opened up new possibilities for her life. Hope talked about the most eye-opening aspects of her transition, especially at an HBCU that skews conservative about gender and sexuality. We have an incredible conversation about why there is sometimes a struggle among cis women, with being in community with our trans sisters, and how we might overcome those barriers. Hope brilliantly outlines the dangers trans people face each day, and the tangible ways we can all fight transphobia and transmisia. Of course, there was beauty talk, about the ways that the LGBTQ+ community has shaped the beauty industry across time.
