Art Pros Podcast

This week, the Art Pros dive deep into the world of art history’s favorite people: privileged white male artists. In today’s art world, the shift in access and power has just begun, and our previous kings of art are beginning to feel the effects of social justice. Artists are becoming Justin Bieber impersonators, and the sons of presidents are even making backdoor deals overseas for their performance art. Please join us for this special fireside chat, and bring your smore supplies because today we’re gonna have a fun roast.[More on [www.artprospodcast.com] • follow us on IG @paid.artists [instagram.com/paid.artists] • donate to our patreon at patreon.com/artprospodcast • email us [artprospodcast@gmail.com] Join our Discord and post your recommendations for episodes, news articles, memes, or any stories if you want some extra company ----->[Discord]

When was the last time you put your hands in the air and waved them like you just don’t care? In this episode, this is exactly what the Art Pros did. Does art have to be so serious all the time? Does making smart art make you a better artist? We don’t always think so. So come have some fun with us, let your hair down and let's live a little. This week, Gage and Renz talk about how important it is to have fun when you make art. Gage comes out as a capitalist, Renz’s recording sounds horrible because he accidentally pointed his mic backwards. Donkey from “Shrek” might be a republican. Renz thinks Drake’s album cover sucks and Gage thinks he probably got it from Fiverr.So if you think you need a little vacation from all the hard work you’ve been doing, then you deserve it. Kick it with the Art Pros, queue this episode up, sit back and enjoy the vibes! Outro: Who Let the Dogs Out by Baha Men - Matt Mulholland Cover[More on [www.artprospodcast.com] • follow us on IG @paid.artists [instagram.com/paid.artists] • donate to our patreon at patreon.com/artprospodcast • email us [artprospodcast@gmail.com] Join our Discord and post your recommendations for episodes, news articles, memes, or any stories if you want some extra company ----->[Discord]

Pssst hey, wanna make some money off the blockchain with your art?In this epic conclusion to the Art Professionals Podcast “nOn-FuNgIbLe ToKen” arc, the Renz and Gage offer some much needed clarity. In this episode we address the ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF CRYPTOCURRENCY, the publication costs i.e. ETHEREUM GAS FEES, and potential unique use-cases for the non-fungible token(feet pic algorithm anyone?) While NFTs could be your ticket to gravy-town (as demonstrated by the artist Beeple’s meteoric rise to be one of the most valuable living artists on the planet) there are some significant drawbacks. Anyways...if you want to hear about Renz’s blockchain business model, the ESPN rockchain technology, and our insight on how to get money as an artist, check out this episode. It might confuse you. It might enlighten you. There’s only one way to find out. You will sound smarter after this episode. You will be learned. Listen to our episode, learn more about NFT’s, and earn that LAMBO BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE! **It's important to note that while NFTs were popularized as part of the ETH ecosystem, there are other coins/ blockchain solutions that may or may not cost less, for example, Cardano(ADA) is a blockchain tech that can support NFTs with coins much cheaper than ETH, however, ETH based marketplaces will reasonably have more people and more capital to buy your art with. This is not covered in the episode.If you want to mint an NFT as a cryptonoob, we found opensea.io to be the most straightforward platform.[More on [www.artprospodcast.com] • follow us on IG @paid.artists [instagram.com/paid.artists] • donate to our patreon at patreon.com/artprospodcast • email us [artprospodcast@gmail.com]Join our Discord and post your recommendations for episodes, news articles, memes, or any stories if you want some extra company ----->[Discord]

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. A Non-Fungible Token is a cryptographic token that represents a unique item that serves as proof of ownership. Non-Fungible tokens provide proof of ownership through blockchain technology, which is the same technology that Bitcoin uses. Bitcoin is worth tens of thousands of dollars, because of blockchain technology. If you’ve ever wanted to get stupid rich from Bitcoin or anything similar, this episode might interest you. It might confuse you. It might enlighten you. There’s only one way to find out. You will sound smarter after this episode. You will be learned.

Watch your fingers because this episode is HOT. The Art Pros are MAD in this episode. We’re MAD because of all the fake organizations that treat equitable practice like it's a fad. We’re mad because we feel like some organizations' hiring practices feel like big virtue signaling energy. The Art Pros are all for justice, but when so many people who used to not care about inclusivity start to suddenly care, things get a little weird. We're here to set the record straight as great Allies to our BIPOC and Underrepresented people because our mission is to stand up for human rights even if it doesn't directly affect us, and not-uh, we aren't trying to virtue signal so if you criticize us, were gonna get really defensive so please don't, please?This week the Art Pros podcast about Shady Non-Profits on #metoo, the lucrative Diversity Mercenary career path, weird old people who treat equitable hiring like its a game of Wokémon, updated 'how to find grants for artists,' the controversial name even worse than Satan McBadguy, and the 10 million dollar college diversity budget.Finally, check out our friend Benjamin L.M.’s New virtual exhibit Roots of Innocence:[https://www.artavita.com/virtual_exhibitions/424][More on [www.artprospodcast.com] • follow us on IG @paid.artists [instagram.com/paid.artists] • donate to our patreon at patreon.com/artprospodcast • email us [artprospodcast@gmail.com]

Do you think it’s ok for museums to sell artwork donated to them for public preservation in order to enact their own mission? Do you trust museums that profited off of marginalization in the past to be the leading voices of equity and inclusion?  The Baltimore Museum of Art aka the BMA is auctioning off some art works. We get it, times are tough and they want money… The thing is when you DEACCESSION art from a tax-exempt museum (move it from public access into the hands of a private collector) ethical boundaries are in danger of being crossed. The BMA stated this 65 million dollars will be used to “increase staff salaries, eliminate admission fees for special exhibitions and offer evening hours in an effort to reach an under-served audience.” They’re also using 54.5 million as an Endowment for the “the care of the collection.”  This week the Art Pros Podcast about the BMA, presenting both sides of the argument, the give-everyone-free-ca$h art performance, why we don’t trust museums, and the nitty gritty of institutional activism. The art is for the people not the institution, but is the institution for the people?

Who needs graduate school or an MFA when you have THE ART PROS PODCAST. For a fraction of the price we can sit around and give any artist of any medium an highly reasoned opinion noone wanted or needed. In this weeks episode The Art Pros demonstrate what a REAL art CRITIQUE from a REAL ART PROFESSIONAL looks like. Aside from absolutely roasting the heady, esoteric, and EXTREMELY BASED 43 page textbook that is Santi’s work The gang figures out the role of art in SOCIETY, Which artist is most like Keanu Reeves, the best aspects of american culture, Why politics are all jacked up, the Counterops aka Art TERRORISM of Brad Troemel, And why is Jeff Koons so Masculine?The Art Pros welcome onto the podcast @Pl0xi_the_ars0nist on instagram aka Santi, aka Santiago Corredor-Vergara. Santi is an artist who reached out to us, at the Art Pros, for his very own professional Art Critique. Santi sent us a 43 page document, and after spending our 15 minutes of research on it we proceed to completely misrepresent the point of his art...or we help him begin to round out his ideas? We’re not really sure. Anyhow, we give him a good ol fashion formal critique, on his DANGEROUSLY RADICAL ideas. Santi is conflicted about painting, is not against defining utopia, and incredibly big brained, including the use of the words “rationalism”. “Meta-fiction”, “internet”, and “memes” when talking about art. If you love Santi and are sick of the Art Pros Podcast you can check out the pod he cohosts at the following link. [Susi and the Tankies] Susi and the Tankies is a casual political commentary podcast that will probably give you some class consciousness, insight on international affairs, and de-radicalize any centrists who've been grilling just a little too long.If you like what we on the Art Pros do, check out the following links: [More on [www.artprospodcast.com] • follow us on IG @paid.artists [instagram.com/paid.artists] • donate to our patreon at patreon.com/artprospodcast • email us [artprospodcast@gmail.com]ALERT: Cybervote Patriotista Chapter 1 is out now at artprospodcast.com/cyber-vote-patriotista
