We brought you the voices of Philadelphia artists talking about their work, their lives and inspirations. (Artblog 2003-2025)
Artblog Radio began in 2010,with funding from the Knight Foundation and J-Lab, as we experimented with a little Sony recorder and some big microphones. The podcasts shared the voices of the Philadelphia artists with the world, in their own wise and often very funny words. In the last year, we added more of our own voices to share the news and commentary on things we were seeing and thinking about. Hosted initially by Libby and Roberta, with later years involving other hosts, Artblog Radio is an archive of 316 episodes. Since 2020, Artblog Radio episodes have been transcribed and available to read on Artblog.
We spoke with Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz in 2011. The show of their collection of outsider art, “Great and Might things: Outsider Art from the Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz Collection” opens today at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The collection is a bequeath to the museum. In our podcast they talk about how they started collecting outsider art and why they are giving it to the museum. This podcast originally ran on May 7, 2011.
