ART BYTES
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City launches its newest podcast series. Art Bytes episodes are geared toward listeners who have an interest in art but don't necessarily know a great deal about it. Each standalone episode takes the listener behind the art on the walls and into the fascinating stories of how artists work, how art is made, and how the world of art is filled with diversity.
