Welcome to the third 'Show & Tell' edition of ArtyParti - a live podcast recording hosted at Port Independent in Sunderland.
Artists & creatives of various disciplines are invited to "step up to the microphone" to share recent projects, the process behind their work, and the lessons they've learned along the way. This is a critically supportive community - inviting the audience to share reflections on each project, and celebrate creative practice.
