Matt Wyatt

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman chat with artist-turned-arts-advocate, Matt Wyatt. As an artist; Associate Producer and Publicist at the Rochester Opera House and Rochester Performance and Arts Center; and co-founder of the Rochester Museum of Fine Art, Matt wears too many hats to fit into one episode! The stubborn Capricorn and rowdy comedian tells the story of the 180-degree turn he took from a kid who didn’t know being an artist was a real career to receiving an award at Carnegie Hall in New York City, thanks to the encouragement of one Spaulding High School teacher. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry as Matt shares the story about that one time he met Gilbert Gottfried and why he feels so strongly about ensuring the arts are accessible to everyone.
