The Artist's Circle - GATE KEEPING

The Artist's Circle is a weekly guided discussion that is a part of my Patreon: (patreon.com/heelhang). All levels of patronage are welcome to join me each week and share their thoughts as I navigate through the various aspects, issues, and considerations of… being an artist. While most of the contributors to these conversations identify as performance artists, I feel that each topic translates to many different artistic fields.

If you'd like to join in on our conversations, join the patreon community today!

I treasure the irreplaceable nature of a moment, and therefor these sessions  are largely unedited. They contain unbridled honesty, unpopular opinions, weird personal stories, and the occasional colorful language.
