The boys discuss events on the east and west coasts as well as tidbits from around the artworld as they prepare for a weekend together in LA.
They are then joined by friend and activist-artist-conservationist-conservator and all around badass Haley Mellin. Haley discusses her painting practice and her history in the field. We go on to discuss Art into Acres the environmental and art initiative she founded which focuses on large-scale land conservation for climate, Indigenous peoples and biodiversity support.  We also discuss her work creating climate impact reports and carbon audits for arts organizations and exhibition organizers allowing them to become more environmentally efficient and aware of visual arts role in contributing to climate change and allowing them to take steps to mitigate those contributions. She also tells us about the other work that various environmental arts groups are doing under the collaborative umbrella of the VisualArtsPact.org.

Lastly we learn about a project she has created - conserve.org - which allows anyone to provide funding to conserve land acre by acre. 

Haley is an absolute power house and fun and funny and charming to boot. This is an episode you won't want to miss.
