What is the value of art education, and how can teaching make you a better artist?
In this fourth episode of Artists Network’s Art Bound podcast, host and artist Doug Kacena (owner and director at K Contemporary gallery) sits down with Kristy Gordon and Trey Egan, two successful artists who are also art teachers. In Art Bound episode three, we ended with our guests giving us the sage advice to drop out of art school. Here Gordon and Egan discuss just how valuable their own art educations were to their growth and careers as successful artists, as well as how teaching has taught them more than they ever could have imagined.
