    Breaking Gallery Rules: Creating an Interactive & Accessible Art Show | Art Crush

    Welcome back to Art Crush! In this episode, hosts Fi Marks and Paula Telizyn are joined by Jela Prancic and Susan Gardner, our talented collaborators from the art collective, The Fifty-One Percent. We are pulling back the curtain on our highly anticipated upcoming exhibition, and let's just say, we are throwing the traditional gallery rulebook right out the window! Whether you are an artist planning your next exhibition, an art enthusiast craving an immersive art experience, or someone who usually feels intimidated by stuffy white-wall galleries, this conversation is for you. We dive deep into how we are designing an exhibition centered entirely around the audience experience to make art truly accessible to the general public. In this episode, we explore: Redefining the Gallery Space: Why we are ditching the quiet, "look but don't touch" mentality to create a fun, welcoming, and accessible art environment. Interactive Installations: How we are bringing the show to life with hands-on elements, from walking through live digital projections to exploring our custom social media corner. The Power of an Art Collective: How collaborating within The Fifty-One Percent allows us to push creative boundaries and build a contemporary art show where there is something engaging for everyone to do. Join us for an inspiring conversation about breaking barriers, engaging the community, and making art a hands-on adventure rather than just a spectator sport.

    Living a Creative Life (Even When You Aren't Making Art)
