ART CLASS

ART CLASS is a bi-weekly podcast that takes a provocative, thoughtful, and often irreverent look at the arts in contemporary society, with a special focus on innovation in arts education. Art Class is hosted by Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones and Paige Reynolds (Mabolé Iya Inawale)—three Black, queer artists, culturistas, and arts administrators who are passionate about a more inclusive and joyous arts landscape. Each episode features stories from a variety of perspectives, bringing People of the Global Majority, queer, trans and nonbinary folks, and everyone else into the conversation. Every episodes will create space for artists creating at the intersection of beauty and innovation in dance, music, film and TV, architecture, theatre, visual arts and more, to push the boundaries of what art is, who it is for, and how it can transform us and our communities for the better. In addition, Art Class makes a public case for the arts as central to American life, by revealing previously hidden histories, under-appreciated contemporary efforts, and innovations in education and practice.
