<p>We start Part 7 off where the show began, way back in Episode ZERO, which we first released on SOUND CLOUD as a pilot for a potential series, with an interview with <strong>Annie Saunders</strong> of <strong>Wilderness</strong>, whose <strong><em>The Day Shall Declare It</em></strong> jump started that renaissance era and got the local performing arts world taking things seriously.</p><br><p>Annie and I look back on that, and on the roadblocks that have kept her from making work here at that scale since. And then I talk to some of the other folks who come up in our conversation and those who helped shape the way I thought about and moved through the LA arts scene — like <strong>Lauren Ludwig</strong> and <strong>Monica Miklas</strong> of <strong>Capital W</strong>, and designer <strong>Tommy Honton </strong>who did so much work on the permitting crisis that hit LA in the wake of tragic events in Northern California in 2016.&nbsp;</p><br><p>And, of course, <strong>Jacob Patterson</strong>, who ran <strong>Think Tank Gallery</strong> in DTLA and gave countless projects and artists a home… including this podcast for a while.</p><br><p>One last jaunt through LA for Season One. Because you know we had to.</p><p><br></p><h3>SHOW NOTES</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.anniesaunders.work/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Annie Saunders</a></li><li><a href="http://thisisthewilderness.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wilderness</a></li><li><a href="http://thisisthewilderness.com/portfolio/the-day-shall-declare-it/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Day Shall Declare It</a></li><li><a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526724982/las-14th-factory-offers-a-warehouse-full-of-art-and-otherworldly-experiences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">14th Factory</a>(NPR)</li><li><a href="https://www.jpattersonart.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jacob Patterson</a></li><li><a href="https://aviarycreativeworks.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Monica Miklas/Aviary Creative Works</a></li><li><a href="https://www.capitalwperformance.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Capital W Performance</a></li><li><a href="https://tommyhonton.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tommy Honton</a></li><li><a href="https://www.laurenludwig.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lauren Ludwig</a></li></ul><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
