JACK presents: Shoptalk
JACK learns from arts and cultural workers who inspire them. Instead of keeping these convos private, they want to share them with the world! They're calling it ShopTalk because they get into the nitty-gritty of the methods of connecting art and community. How do they do what they do? Like, step-by-step.
