  The Art Box - Episode 475 — Edie & Eden Imagine a Creative Hub Without Borders

  Aug 16, 20261h 17m

  What if an empty building could become a doorway to the world? In Episode 475, Edie and Eden join Steve to explore an ambitious vision for a multicultural creativity hub in Southern Nevada where art, technology, education, and human connection come together. Edie shares her plans to repurpose an existing space into an immersive environment using projection mapping, virtual reality, holography, artist studios, and interactive experiences. Inspired by connections stretching from Nevada to Uganda, Norway, Dubai, Shanghai and beyond, the vision is about much more than technology. It is about helping children, families, artists, and educators experience other cultures, their art, music, food, languages, dances, and stories, in new ways. It begins with an empty building and a big question: How can creativity make the world feel a little smaller?

  The Art Box - Episode 474 - Listening to the Landscape: Dr. Chris Merritt on Art, Archaeology & Community

  Aug 15, 202657 min

  In Episode 474, Dr. Chris Merritt, Utah State Historic Preservation Officer, joins Steve for a conversation about archaeology, preservation, art, and the stories hidden in the landscapes around us. Steve and Chris have worked together on several archaeological projects exploring the lives of Chinese workers in the American West during the 1880s, giving their conversation a personal connection built through time spent together in the field. Chris shares his love of art and painting and how his creative work intersects with his archaeological work across Utah. They also explore the importance of collaboration—bringing together archaeologists, universities, local communities, and organizations such as the Chinese Railroad Workers Descendants Association to better understand, preserve, and share these often-overlooked stories. It’s a conversation about archaeology, art, collaboration, discovery, and the importance of noticing what others might simply walk past. Notes: Pictured is Chris with Deidre M. Henderson Lt. Governor of Utah at the Terrace Excavation. Find out more about the Utah Cultural Site Steward Program: https://ushpo.utah.gov/publicarchaeology/ucss/

  The Art Box - Episode 473 - Every Great Photograph Begins with a Story a Conversation with Randy Bauman

  Aug 15, 202652 min

  Randy Bauman, Chair of the Mesquite Fine Arts Photographic Society , returns to The Art Box four years after joining us way back on Episode 7. We pick up where we left off, exploring just how much photographic technology has changed since 2022. But our conversation quickly moves beyond cameras and equipment to something more important: what makes photography art? For Randy, a great photograph is more than the instant the shutter clicks. It is the story behind the image, the idea, the planning, the travel, the setup, sometimes the hike to get there, the patience to wait for the right moment, and finally the choices made in editing. We also venture into the rapidly changing world of AI and photography, discussing some of the possibilities and questions surrounding its use in the editing process. Poetry bookends this episode. We begin with Charles Coe's poem “Sanctified,” from Forever Songs: An Anthology of Poems About Music, and Randy brings our conversation to a fitting close by sharing his own poem, “Camera.” Photography, poetry, technology, and storytelling, four years later, Randy and The Art Box have plenty to catch up on.

  Aug 13, 202655 min

  Poet, filmmaker, memoirist, and teacher Kathryn Hunt joins us for a conversation about a creative life built around curiosity and discovery. From studying with legendary artist Jacob Lawrence to premiering her first film at the Venice Film Festival, Kathryn’s path has moved through many forms of storytelling. We explore the relationship between poetry and filmmaking, the influence of nature and the Salish Sea, the importance of silence, and Kathryn’s belief that the thrill of creating lies in discovering what comes next. Kathryn also shares thoughts about teaching, community, her recently completed memoir The Last Chance Motel, and why learning to notice may be one of a writer’s most important skills. https://kathrynhunt.net/ https://centrum.org/program/poetry-on-the-salish-sea/

  The Art Box - Episode 470 - Grand Lodge Writers Retreat with Minadora and Tammy - A Fabulous Chat

  Aug 2, 20261h 5m

  What happens when two creatives, brought together by friendship and a shared belief in the transformative power of writing, decide to create a place where creativity can breathe? In this episode of The Art Box, Steve welcomes Tammy Bendetti and Minadora Macheret, founders of the Grand Lodge Writer's Retreat in Grand Junction, Colorado. Tammy, an award-winning poet whose work celebrates cycles, motherhood, and the natural world, and Minadora, an accomplished poet, educator, and university professor whose writing explores inheritance, grief, disability, and folklore, share the remarkable story of how a social media friendship became a creative partnership with a mission to help writers slow down, reconnect, and rediscover their voices. Together, they discuss the writing process, the importance of creative community, the value of silence, and why some of our best work begins when we simply give ourselves permission to listen. More than a conversation about writing, this episode explores friendship, vulnerability, and the belief that creativity flourishes when we make room for wonder, reflection, and one another. Whether you're an experienced writer or someone who has always dreamed of putting words on a page, you'll leave inspired to embrace your own creative journey.
