What is Art Yap?

Convos with the creative folk shaping the arts and culture in the San Francisco Bay Area. Hosted by Shawna Vesco Ahern.

Shawna:

Hi, everyone. It's Shawna Vesco Ahern, and human creativity is what gets me out of bed every morning. I'm endlessly inspired, amused, and delighted by acts of imagination, from content creators on TikTok to theoretically robust art exhibitions and everything else in between. I love it all, and I wanna talk about it. If you feel the same, you'll love my new podcast, Art Yap, launching June 13.

Shawna:

Every other week, I'll gab, gossip, and chitchat with San Francisco Bay Area arts and culture baddies about how they build community through creativity and the winding life paths that led them there. Creativity is for everyone. The arts and humanities are vital for individuals, communities, and our economy. In this inaugural season, you'll hear from folks across the arts ecosystem, from major institutions like SFMOMA and the De Young to smaller projects and spaces that might be new to you. Art Yap guests bring fresh perspectives on curation, arts project management, community programming, arts funding, legislation, marketing, and more.
