    I was an Art History major in college but sold out for journalism and a job. It was a necessity at the time but I crave that world. Thanks for giving it to me in your mini art classes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Author Interview Kory Stamper | True Color
Q: And can you give us some interesting tidbits of history and unexpected color creations from the materials and techniques you've explored?
She shares stories about Tyrian purple, its production process, and how historic color knowledge evolved from natural dyes to synthetic dyes, including the challenges and breakthroughs in dye chemistry.
Author Interview Kory Stamper | True Color
Q: Okay, so the first question, you know, I feel like I wouldn't need to ask for myself, but for listeners, what inspired you to do such a deep dive into color, to fill a book with it?
Kory explains that working as a dictionary writer exposed her to the quirky, precise color definitions in old entries, which sparked a broader fascination with how colors are measured, described, and understood, leading to the book True Color.
Gavin Whitehead | Raven
Q: Where did Raven come from, and what shaped his early years and dream of a wax museum?
Gavin explains Raven's self-created origin story tied to Harlem, his rise as a fashion designer, and how those threads fed into the decision to open a black-history wax museum in Harlem, with the idea evolving from a 1950s inspiration to a 1989 realization.
Artist Interview | Cristallina Fischetti
Q: Can you tell us about the inspiration behind Alchemia and why alchemy became your touchstone?
Alchemy emerged as a three-year energy-guided exploration; it symbolizes transformation and healing, blending physical materials with spiritual themes, and connects with her interest in inner transformation and language. The title and series reflect a cycle of purification and re-creation through painting, language, and ritual.
The 57th Street Art Fair
Q: What is the experience like for patrons attending the fair?
Patrons can expect a family-friendly experience with music, food trucks, children's activities, and opportunities to engage directly with the artists.
