About ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists

ARTMATTERS is an intimate, bi-weekly podcast featuring in-studio conversations between host Isaac Mann and professional artists from around the world. Now in its second season with over 55 episodes, the show has become a vital resource for the contemporary art community, exploring everything from technical practices and daily studio insights to career advice, creative blocks, and the emotional realities of making art. Host Isaac Mann brings both the perspective of a working artist and the curiosity of a thoughtful interviewer to each conversation, creating a space where artists can discuss not just their techniques and influences, but also the vulnerable aspects of creative life- hope, depression, expectation, success, and failure. Whether exploring technical processes, relationship dynamics, or tips for a healthier practice, ARTMATTERS offers both emerging and established artists a rare glimpse into the real experiences behind successful creative careers.
