Welcome to the Art Provoked Podcast, with hosts Kenneth Keeler and Jerry J. White III. We embark on a raw and unfiltered exploration of the art world, delving deep into the intricate process of creation.
In each episode, we'll not only share our own stories but also invite fellow artists to join the conversation. This is a space for authenticity, where we encourage our guests to open up about their journeys, discussing the nitty-gritty details that are often overlooked.
As artists ourselves, we are committed to breaking down stereotypes and providing a platform for honest conversations. We believe in challenging the status quo and embracing vulnerability, where we strip away the facade and get to the heart of the matter. In this podcast, we're not afraid to get real and tackle the unspoken aspects of the artistic journey – from the high highs to the challenging lows, confronting taboo topics that often lurk in the shadows. Mental health, internal struggles, the constant battle with comparison, and the sting of failure – nothing is off the table as we delve into the authentic and raw experiences of the creative process.
Join us on The Art Provoked Podcast! Let's break down barriers, shatter expectations, and build a community that embraces the beauty and struggles of the artistic process.
