Best Podcasts for Artists

Do you enjoy listening to inspiring and/or educational podcasts while you work? Do you find it encouraging to listen to stories or advice from other creatives who have found success doing what they love?


Lately I've been trying my best to absorb as much as possible about what it takes to succeed as an artist. I am so incredibly grateful for all the artists and experts out there willing to put out information for us to learn from and apply in our careers.

As artists, most of us are responsible not only for continuously producing good art, but of promoting it as best as we can and dealing with everything else that comes from selling a product (numbers, money, taxes, etc.).

There's just so much!

​
Is it worth it in order to do what we love and living life on our terms? Totally! Nonetheless, there's a lot of learning involved and if it wasn't for all of these incredible, helpful people putting all that information out there, the learning curve for new artists would be a lot steeper.

I love listening to these talks as I work (yay for multitasking!). 

The following five podcasts are by far my favorite. They all offer large libraries of episodes to choose from and their topics range from motivational to practical. I hope they will help you as much as they have helped me.

1. Accidental Creative

Accidental Creative is a group dedicated to helping creatives thrive by providing workshops and many other useful resources.

2. Creative Pep Talk
I find Andy J. Miller extremely inspirational and I quite enjoy his more intimate approach to podcasts. He combines interviews and personal stories in his episodes.
Click here to listen to the last episode titled ¨You Are More¨.


3. The Jealous Curator 
105 episodes of inspirational interviews with artists and creatives.

4. Art Marketing Action Podcasts from Alyson B. Stanfield (ArtBizCoach.com)
As artists and freelancers, we have to be our own promoters. Alyson Stanfield is an expert at Art Marketing and puts out a lot of useful information for us.
Click here to listen to choose from 189 different episodes on iTunes. 


5. Artists Helping Artists
This is also a very helpful podcast in which artists talk about the business side of being an artist as well as other practical tips.

What a great article! I have been searching for a similar list for a while. I live in a pretty isolated town in Northern Canada so there isn't much opportunity to hear other artists talk about their work and business. I am looking forward to listening to these while I work. Thank you! :)

Hi, Marilyn!
Thanks so much for checking this one out.
I hear you! There are very few artists around me where I live and I'm so thankful that we live in today's world, where other creatives from all over the world are just a click away, and are so generously sharing their experience.
Enjoy your art practice!
