Season 1 Finale

[00:00:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Hello, and welcome to Artfully Told, where we share true stories about meaningful encounters with art.

[00:00:06] Krista: I think artists help people have different perspectives on every aspect of life.

[00:00:12] Roman: All I can do is put my part in to the world.

[00:00:15] Elizabeth: It doesn't have to be perfect the first time. It doesn't have to be perfect ever really. I mean, as long as you, and you're enjoying doing it and you're trying your best, that can be good enough.

[00:00:23] Elna: Art is something that you can experience with your senses and that you just experiences as so beautiful.

[00:00:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Hello and welcome back to another episode of Artfully Told. I'm your host, Lindsey, and I have some news to share with you. So I have over the last year and a half, had the most amazing opportunities to meet and interview some of the coolest people that I have yet to encounter. They are artists and creatives of all kinds. And whether they consider themselves to be professional or hobbyists or somewhere in between, what has made them all so special is their love and appreciation for art and the way that art brings us together and the stories that emerge from it that just make it so very cool. I have really thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to chat with people and to hear their stories and to allow them another outlet to be creative by being on a podcast. And it's been an amazing outlet for me personally, especially after COVID shut down most of my other artistic endeavors.

[00:01:39] This has been an amazing thing for me to be able to do, but I am going to be taking a bit of a break. I don't have a particular timeline in mind right now. I have some big life changes coming up that are super exciting and they will allow me to actually really expand my horizons, expand and grow as a person and then, you know, even explore other artistic endeavors for myself and, or meet other people with other artistic endeavors too. And I'm really excited about this life change, but it is something that's gonna kind of need me to focus a little bit elsewhere for a while. And so I'm not saying that I won't be back, because my hope and plan is to be back at some point.

[00:02:29] But at the moment, what I would encourage you to do is first of all, shoot me an email if you have feedback on any of the episodes I've done so far and let me know, what are the things that you enjoy? What's your favorite part? What's your least favorite part? Good, the bad and the ugly. I'm all here for it. I'd love to hear what you have to say. And then in addition to that, I would love if you would listen to all of the back episodes. Each person that I've interviewed has brought really unique perspective on what the arts mean to them personally, as well as their experiences creating and being creative. And it's just such an inspiring group of people that I've had the opportunity to chat with. And I think you'll enjoy each and every one of them. So I would highly encourage you to take some time and go back through the episodes and really listen and, you know, absorb because that's pretty cool.

[00:03:30] And I just want to also say, you know, again, this isn't the end, this is only the beginning and I hope it's the only the beginning of your own artistic journey. What a fun opportunity for me to be able to do this and share this with the world and, and hopefully for you as listeners as well. I have appreciated so much every single one of you who has listened to even one episode, because it's meant that art gets to be explored and talked about and demystified again and again and again, and that is an honor to me, and it's a joy to me and I'm grateful.

[00:04:07] And I just want to tell each and every one of you that you are important, you matter, and what you bring to the world is beautiful. So thank you so much for listening to Artfully Told and cheers to the future for you, for me, for Artfully Told and for the world, and we will catch you next time.

[00:04:34] I hope your day has been Artfully Told.
