Amy Sherald—American Sublime🌱Anywhere You Go To Listen 🎤 Today, we share with you the finale of the Fresh Art International podcast, ending more than a decade of storytelling from art scenes around the world. @freshartintl @asherald Coming full circle, we’ve returned to Baltimore, Maryland. The Magic City is where we released our very first episode in October 2011. Our guest was MacArthur Genius, artist Joyce J. Scott. @joycescott390 @goya_contemporary_gallery In October 2025, we sit down with another long time friend of Fresh Art International: artist Amy Sherald. Inside the Baltimore Museum of Art, she takes us on a tour of American Sublime, her touring mid-career retrospective exhibition. Recording conversations with this artist along her path to greatness has been a privilege and an honor. @sfmoma @whitneymuseum @baltimoremuseumofart Fresh Art International holds an archive of many such stories—all with enduring value. Over time, we have documented critically important voices from the evolving world of contemporary art. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, Locust Projects and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and most important, Listeners Like You, have made Fresh Art International possible. Thank You, for Listening! 🌱 @knightfdn #tremainefoundation @locustprojects @warholfoundation taken in Baltimore, Maryland by @thecathybyrd

Anywhere You Go To Listen! Video Performance Art Reimagines the Future 5 Nov 2025 In this episode, we explore an emerging microgenre in contemporary performance art. Some of today’s artists create liminal spaces, construct original expressive forms, and make powerful statements in a range of inventive video performances. The 2025 exhibition (Im)Posibilidades: Performance Art for Video at Ogden Contemporary Arts in Ogden, Utah, reveals the microgenre’s potential. Featured projects from the United States and Mexico envision ways to correct historical distortions and construct new possible futures. They show us a world where everyone’s stories can thrive through performance and reimagination.

Sunday in the Park with Tyler Atlanta born photographer Tyler Mitchell shares his POV in an intimate exhibition on view now at the High Museum of Art. In a niche on the museum’s second floor, thoughtful images and playful installations resonate with visitors of all ages—Do Not Miss This! Through Mitchell’s lens, everything is illuminated. Especially captivating, the view he pictures in the photo titled Riverside Scene. Evoking Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884), Mitchell pictures the sunny, chill time vibe of Black friends and family relaxing on a Georgia riverbank. The two compositions share a panoramic perspective and evoke an idyllic sense of place. Other standouts—the shoes, the hoops, the joyful swing, the picnic, the wondrous wedding portraits and a mirrored family photo. @tylersphotos @highmuseumofart #georgesseurat by @thecathybyrd
