Rough Draft x Market View: Season 2 Episode 4
Let’s Make Podcasts Great Again!
Over the next three months, The York Review will be partnering with Marketview Arts to present the Market View series. Culminating with York College’s first ever Alumni Art Retrospective, the series is a collaborative effort to encourage York College’s student body to engage with downtown York’s artistic and cultural movement.
Each week, the Market View will focus on a different aspect of the blossoming movement: the artists, the curators, the venues, the galleries, and the shops working to cement downtown York as a destination for creative cultural engagement. This week, the series collaborates with the Rough Draft Podcast Show to bring you a podcast covering everything you need to know about the upcoming Alumni Art Retrospective.
We love collaborations. Especially when it involves us. So when we were approached about an opportunity to release a collaborative podcast episode, we jumped at it.
On this episode, Austin Wolfe hops into the hosting chair to speak with Matthew Apol, curator of the upcoming Alumni Art Retrospective. Matthew shares the journey he took to end up in the position to be able to curate York College’s first ever alumni-exclusive art show.
From his time touring in a hardcore band and working graphic design for Toys-R-Us, to owning a gym in New York City and finding his way back to the York art community, it’s a hell of a story.
Matthew also discusses York’s blossoming art community, the philosophy behind the alumni show, and the role art should play in Donald Trump’s America. It’s a whole lot of good stuff. Strap in.
