Being All the Way Me with Guest Artist Raven Zeller E022
Monday Feb 21, 2022
Monday Feb 21, 2022
Join Loughery as she invites Artist Raven Zeller to climb up the digital wall on this episode of AR:T ROUTE Radio. Artists are sometimes portrayed as creative creatures that create in solitude, and are not known to be social explorers. Loughery and Zeller have yet to meet, other than to see each other’s work from a viewer’s perspective. Inspirational connections and conversation are sparked on the first hello as the colours, and connections that are ancient, fly around the podcast studio.

Here's to Art Route Blue weaved into a multi-coloured security blanket keeping us warm & thriving in a circle of hope … as we rebuild our routes with roots.
Lorrie Fleming - “My realization that 'age is a gift to humanity'! I turned 70 in May and this milestone hangs heavily on my personal feeling of self-worth. But then I saw the gift. The wisdom that our elders carry to society is priceless.

Monday Nov 15, 2021
Monday Nov 15, 2021
Artists as patrons and wise women wayfinders.
Michelle and aj Jaeger discuss the hidden lens of community work on this revealing and honest episode of AR:T ROUTE Radio. The space between the arts and community infrastructure systems is historically difficult to be made visible in civic budgets. A discussion how community art education is needed to reveal the value of the social economics of community art civic infrastructure work. The two successful artists touch how artists need to have a multitude of skills in the their art tool belts.
Artist aj Jaeger ... as a sculptor and painter, I am inspired by rich colours and distinctive textures that tell a meaningful story. I am a passionate advocate in the local art community, teaching mixed media, working with collage in inventive, creative ways in my workshops, and designing successful art exhibitions.

Taking it to the Wall with Guest Artist Kerri Parnell E012
Monday Nov 08, 2021
Monday Nov 08, 2021
Life doesn’t define you by what happens to you - you’re defined by how you choose to deal with what happens to you. This episode of AR:T ROUTE Radio is one that strikes not only an artistic cord, but also a cultural cord with my family roots. Art is a powerful tool to disrupt and to educate on extremely important social issues. Time is stopped when you listen to Kerri and her art is a window to a time that sits on both sides of the window you look through when experiencing her art - Artist Michelle Loughery.
Artist Kerri Pernell ... Her passion is to collaborate with others on projects that promote social awareness and change. Her results are both thought provoking and aesthetically beautiful. Nowhere is this more evident than Pause in Plight.

Nelson International Mural Festival with Guest Artist Sydney Black E011
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
This episode of AR:T ROUTE RADIO has a ripple effect in the vibrant colours and artists on the walls and the connections between mural towns and the people who create them. In the art studio is Sydney Leigh Black, one of the organisers of the extremely successful Nelson International Mural Festival. This mural town has deep roots and also strong ties to the work of Loughery’s students who are now some of the masters of their mural craft on the vibrant walls in Nelson BC, Canada. There is much energy that goes into the creation of mural towns and Sydney is a mural warrior in the work she does.

Wednesday Aug 11, 2021
"When I first stumbled on the work that Claudia Salguero was creating, the sunflower she was creating drew me to reach out to her. Her story and her passion for engagement art and community is inspiring and a beautiful conversation to be part of. Claudia speaks from her soul about her work and it is like hundreds of butterflies are released onto her immense canvas." - AR:T ROUTE Radio Host and Master Muralist Michelle Loughery.
“What is the WISDOM mural? It is a mural project I have been dreaming of since I understood the deepness of the Indigenous teachings in regards of their connection and respect for Mother Nature. Indigenous teachings from all over the world invite us to connect with her in a conscious way, to see her as the source of life, to appreciate her unlimited gifts and to respect her.” - Artist Claudia Salguero
