ArtSounds

About this program

ArtSounds is our name for a podcast provided by local arts organization – Jack Straw Cultural Center. The Jack Straw New Media Gallery podcast features interviews with resident artists in the Jack Straw New Media Gallery about their installations and their development, as well as sounds from each installation.

The Jack Straw New Media Gallery opened in 1999 to support artists working with visual and installation art, with an emphasis on sound. The Gallery is one feature of the New Media Gallery Program, and is one of three residency programs at Jack Straw. The New Media Gallery exhibits artists’ work through an open call process like the Artist Support Program and Writers Program. As one of a handful of exclusively sound art spaces in the world, it has been attracting applicants nationally and internationally, however Jack Straw has a commitment to local artists.
