About this episode

Julia Dault is an acclaimed Canadian abstract painter and sculptor whose work can be found in the Guggenheim Museum, Miami’s Pérez Art Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, and many other notable galleries around the world.

She sits down with guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about that change, and why she decided to open a community art studio in Toronto called Hot Pizza, built around a simple motto: art for everyone.
