Artist Plate Project with Michelle Hellm...

Benjamin Godsill & Nate Freeman
About this episode

No Nate, No Problem. We are back and are joined by friend and cultural producer Michelle Hellman . Among many other things Michelle is the force (and the elbow grease) driving the innovative Artist Plate Project - a series of limited edition plates by the most renowned (and in demand) Artists and Artist's Estates sold in support of the Coalition For The Homeless.


We hear about the genesis of this project and all the amazing work the proceeds support. Hear all about this years editions in advance of the "drop" - IRL at the Frieze NY Verntisage on May 7 (and virtually here. )
