Michael Peterson is from Saskatoon here in Canada, where he runs his own gallery, the only printmaking studio in the city, and a radio show about art and artists. He is also on the boards of many art organizations including Saskatoon's Nuit Blanche. And he recently spearheaded a provincially funded professional development program for artists. Michael Peterson studied printmaking and initially started organizing art initiatives in order to fill his own needs and those of his peers. Starting businesses, organizations, and initiatives has mainly taken over at this point and we talk about many of his projects. We talk about the importance of building up your fellow artists and your art community. He also shares his super relatable and useful take on networking, or relationship building as he more aptly calls it. There are tons of behind the scenes art world insights in here so listen up!
