Arts shouldn’t be esoteric! Based in Seattle, Washington, Sharpest Knives is a podcast created, hosted, and produced by Maris Antolin. Her conversations with arts and cultural leaders explore arts access, advocacy, social, racial, and gender equity, with the intention of breaking down barriers between people and spaces. Sharpest Knives is building a free digital archive of one on one conversations. Learn about what drives these arts and culture warriors, what they love about what they do, and their personal stories of how they got to where they are.
