Brace yourselves as we embark on an artistic journey with Joe Souder, the creative pulse behind the Art Store in Syracuse, New York. Join us as he peels back the canvas on the ever-evolving trends in the art world, especially in these tumultuous times. The pandemic has spun the color wheel and pushed people toward traditional media and art forms. Joe, with the heart of a true artist, encourages everyone to embrace the change and fearlessly experiment with new materials.

This episode isn't just about the art; it's about the energy and the community behind it. We explore the physical presence of the Art Store and how it has transformed into a vibrant hub for artists. You'll get a sense of the exhilarating feel of choosing art supplies by touch and quality, attending free workshops, and connecting with other artists. It's the nucleus of artistry in Syracuse and Central New York, a place where creativity thrives and ideas flow as freely as watercolours on a canvas.

It's not all paintbrushes and easels though. Joe talks about the Art Store's digital footprint and how social media, particularly TikTok, has become a gallery for artists to showcase their work and engage with a wider audience. The Art Store has become more than a local hub; it's a beacon for artists far and wide. How can you support and be a part of this artistic revolution? Tune in, and let's paint this picture together.
