In the second installment of this new series I was happy to welcome the multi-talented artist, educator, and exhibitions manager Douglas Breault for a conversation on everything from art-making to millenials.

In addition to being an emerging artist who has exhibited his own work widely, Doug also teaches art at several local colleges and manages the exhibition program at Gallery 263 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In my interview with Doug, we discuss how he came to studio art, how he juggles his many roles in the arts, and other topics including the place of millennials in the current art scene.

In the premier installment of this new series I was happy to welcome a talented colleague from the Rhode Island gallery scene, Shari Weschler.
