ArtMoves Podcast Interview with Lee Smalter, Curator of Smalter Gallery

ArtMoves interviewed Lee Smalter, owner and curator of The Smalter Gallery, for their podcast.

Lee discusses:

• Their roots and the decision to move from Connecticut to the mid-west (“I come from a long line of Smalters who decided that the mid-west is more fun than the east coast…”),

• Falling in love with the Kansas City art community (“Once I found 39th Street…that’s when I settled on, this is home now…”),

• How they find artists for exhibitions and how it feels to know they had a part in facilitating the careers of up and coming creators (“You get to watch them put their first red dot on the wall and cry a little…I love watching artists outgrow me…”),

• The road to becoming a seasoned gallerist that always remembers that the art comes first,

• Lots more. This interview covers a lot of ground!
