  Farm Projects with Susie Nielsen

  Jul 15, 202635 min

  In this episode, Julie Wake sits down with Susie Nielsen, founder of FARM PROJECTS, a contemporary art space in Wellfleet, MA on Cape Cod, for a warm, wide-ranging conversation about art, identity, and connection. They dig into why our reactions to art say more about ourselves than the art itself, what led Susie to start FARM as an alternative to the traditional gallery model, and how she's built a space rooted in curiosity rather than judgment. Along the way, they explore what it means to live in "the space between" knowing and not knowing, and how community shapes a creative life on the Outer Cape. It's a conversation that will resonate with artists, art lovers, and anyone art-curious who's ever felt a little intimidated walking into a gallery.
