Episode #115 - Bree Karpavage of First Friday Santa Cruz and Ann Hazels of Radius Gallery

Bree Karpavage and Ann Hazels are breathing new life into the Santa Cruz art scene.  First Friday Santa Cruz is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024. As part of the celebration, First Friday Santa Cruz and Radius Gallery, also celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, have teamed up to host an exhibition entitled “Changing Spaces,” opening on the First Friday in June. “Changing Spaces” features the work of 39 artists and is an homage to this monthly event that presents both emerging and established artists showing in small businesses, galleries, and art spaces across the county. In this conversation, Ann and Bree discuss the business of art, their own art practices, advice for emerging artists, and what they hope audiences take away from their work.  @firstfridaysantacruz @tanneryartscenter
