From art lovers to art haters to art-is-just-okay-ers, Art History for All aims to get all kinds of people thinking about art and what it means to them. Each episode, Allyson Healey tackles a single work of art and its history and larger significance, always asking the question: so what? Art History for All takes you beyond the art historical canon and helps you find the way in which art speaks to you (even if it's never spoken to you before).

Just found out about this podcast
5 stars! Wish it was still going! Looking forward to hearing all the episodes.
Thoughtful and engaging
I cannot recommend this podcast enough! Allyson intentionally brings a critical lens to their episodes - unpacking socio, political and economic contexts and the way that they affect both the study of art, as well as its production, dissemination and “value”. From how much control an artist has over the interpretation of their art, to colonial violence and museums. Each episode introduces listeners to a new artist, work of art and at least one “big” question in the study of art history.
To top it off - this podcast is incredibly well edited. It is clear, succinct and so incredibly engaging. This is one of the only podcasts that I find myself listening to again and again. Bravo, Allyson!
Amazing Podcast!
