For this episode, I decided to start close to home. In Norfolk, Virginia, there is an art center called d’Art Center. Here, artists rent studio space and all of their studios are open to the public. Visitors can watch artists work and learn a bit about the different mediums represented at the center. In this episode, I talk to the artists and learn what it’s like to work in the public eye.
