Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Marissa & Jay Echevarria stop by the Art Bazaar Podcast to chat about Connected by Craft, a monthly crafting event held at the Alternative Gallery. They also announce the upcoming show, Ice Breaker: A Political Art Show on February 18th 6-9 PM, also at the Alternative Gallery.
We talk about the Alternative Gallery a lot because it’s like our podcast and stuff. There’s also a LOT of shit-talking about the Orange Bastard of a President, if you’re into that kind of thing. And if you’re not then you a bitch and we don’t like you!
