Let’s Start With A…
The Open Creative Podcast invites you into a vibrant, collaborative journey where two or more Open Creative artists unite their talents and imaginations. Each collaboration begins with individual inspirations—ideas, themes, or sparks that ignite the creative process. The challenge? To weave these starting points into a cohesive masterpiece or individual works that honor their origins.
Over approximately two months, the artists work together, blending perspectives, techniques, and creative visions. The culmination of their effort is not just the art itself but a captivating conversation. In each episode, the artists share their finished pieces and reflect on the joys, challenges, and discoveries of their creative process.
The Open Creative Podcast is more than a showcase of art—it's a celebration of collaboration, innovation, and the stories behind the work.
