Donna and Rachel are friends who aren't afraid to ask questions, laugh loudly, obsess freely and covet vintage items. The pair created the Smart Mouth Life Podcast to celebrate women who run their mouths and the world.
Today's episode features Wendy L. Hickey, who paired her passion of marketing and advertising with her love of promoting local artists and making art accessible to the masses through ArtPop Street Gallery.
ArtPop is quite literally a street gallery: the nonprofit promotes the work of local artists on available media space — billboards, buses, news racks, airports — and turn roads, highways and thoroughfares into opportunities for artistic appreciation and discovery.
Since 2014, ArtPop Street Gallery has promoted more than 350 artists from North Carolina to Las Vegas through public art installations using more than $20 million dollars of advertising space.
