Introducing Season 6 of Halloween Art and Travel

This is Kristen Stafford, your host of the Halloween Art and Travel Podcast. This is your source for the stories behind the Halloween artists and collectors who capture your imagination.  I'm excited to share my 2024 season with you – the 6th season of this podcast.   Over the summer, I'll be releasing new episodes on the 23rd and 30th of the month, now through October. Once we hit high spooky season, September and October, there will be even more Halloween art fun for your ears. In addition to episodes on the 23rd and 30th, there will be surprise bonus episodes – always on dates that contain the number 3. Subscribe and follow in your favorite podcast app so you don't miss a single one.   My June guests are Stacey Bear of Mementos Art and Antiques and Jana Seven of Rag and Bone Dolls. Which one do you think may have a skull buried in her bedroom? Listen to find out!   This season, I am trying something new, an episode built by our community of listeners. Let's build an episode on kitchen witches. I'd love you hear YOUR stories of creating or collecting kitchen witches. You can send message me on Facebook or Instagram, or through my website at halloweenartandtravel.com. Better yet, send me a voice clip. The kitchen witch episode will be released in October, but I need your feedback by September 23.   I'm also excited to share a special project I'm working on with blogger, collector, and past podcast guest Jorene Lomenzo of Shivers of Delight. Jorene and I have often dreamed of a guide for collectors…that dream will become a reality later this fall…with the ta-da – Halloween Art Guide for Spellbound Collectors.   The Guide will provide biographies from Halloween artists along with the history of Halloween art shows that have helped the Halloween art movement grow into a year-round passion for spellbound collectors. In addition, the site will host essays about Halloween art collecting, documenting collections, and the growth of the movement from a variety of authors as well as provide news and updates about Halloween artists, shows, events, and publications.    When the guide is ready, we will share it on our social media.   Now go enjoy, episode 57, an interview with artist Stacey Bear.
