New Podcast: “Being An Artist with Tom Judd”
Being An Artist With Tom Judd is a weekley podcast where we explore what it takes to be an artist and what drives this life long commitment. Tom interviews established artists about how they manage their lives and create their artwork and make it all work.
“I have always wondered what has certain people take on their talents in such a seemingly irreversible fashion.”
We will explore the different practices that artists put into play to make sure they get the work done. We also look at how artists promote themselves and relate to the market place.
These are all questions that get considered and talked about in a context that is provocative and compelling.
The Corona Hoedown
GET DOWN WITH THE HOEDOWN!
During the last year of the Pandemic, I began singing my way to better days and started a concert series called The Corona Hoedown.
In the early days of last spring I would dress up in proper cowboy attire and produce my own Tiny Desk concert. You can hear the whole series now on Instagram at instagram.com/coronahoedown
See you next time!
History in Motion
February 27, 2021 – June 13, 2021
In connection with the reconstruction of the 5th Street-Independence Hall Station on the Market-Frankford Line, and as part of SEPTA’s Art in Transit program, artist Tom Judd was selected to create a permanent installation for the station. Titled Portal to Discovery, Judd’s mural on the eastbound and westbound platforms presents figures who contributed to the founding of the United States as well as those who fought for “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” for all. The mural includes portraits of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Philadelphians such as Frances E. W. Harper, one of the first African American women to be published in the United States, and Absalom Jones, an African American abolitionist and clergyman who founded the Free African Society with Richard Allen in 1787. The Museum’s exhibition includes preparatory studies for the mural as well as in-process photographs of the installation; the panels were fabricated by Ben Volta Studios and the installation was managed by James Shuster. The mural is an important addition to Philadelphia’s rich landscape of public art.
