I recently discovered the wonderful "Art As Experience" podcast, hosted by Sheila Blake and Tom Xenakis. The title derives from John Dewey's highly regarded "Art As Experience" book. Their show is based in Takoma Park, Maryland, and is broadcast via WOWD. The hosts are accomplished painters and offer insightful reviews of art shows in the greater Washington, DC area. Although respectful of all of the artists they discuss, they do not shy away from sharp criticism where they think it is warranted. Not only do Blake and Xenakis provide detailed, stimulating reviews of art exhibits, they also take little side trips and offer suggestions to budding artists regarding technique and career building. As an untrained artist, I have learned quite a lot about the history of art. I have no doubt that the show will be equally appealing to professionals and established artists.
