A recurring theme on the Lean Into Art Cast is the symbiotic relationship between the creative work you do and advocating for it (and yourself). How is your creative work affected when you go out and participate in panels, workshops, or other public events? How can advocating for others benefit your own work? How do you balance these separate careers?
Jerzy and Rob are joined by teaching artist Alex Simmons, co-founder of the Kids’ Comic Con and co-host of the Tell The Damn Story podcast for a discussion on navigating the balance of making art and advocating for it.
