We shuffled the deck a little for this week’s episode. We received a call from our good friend Tom Mosser regarding an event he is putting together April 1st at the Energy Innovation Center in Pittsburgh.
We visited 412 Studios in Etna for Episode #55 of the Podcast. You may remember Tom from our show featuring his “Really Big Faces” Exhibit last year. He is organizing an event he calls “Make Your Marc” calling on local artists to create their own artwork about Marc Fogel.
Marc Fogel, a 1980 Butler Senior High School graduate, was detained in Russia at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport in August 2021 with slightly more than a half-ounce of medical marijuana. After a trial, he was sentenced to 14 years in a Russian prison.
The event calls on over 100 Pittsburgh creatives create their own original work about Fogel that will be on display in the Brightspace Room at the Energy Innovation Center in Pittsburgh. The intent is to draw attention to Vogel’s plight.
As always, the visually inclined can watch it all go down on YouTube, and you can also catch us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Stitcher, Castbox, Podchaser, Pandora…you get the picture.
