Here we go! It’s The Raising a Ruckus Podcast … the joint all about rule-breakers, change-makers, and risk-takers — and the leaps of faith, sleepless nights, disasters, and big decisions they made along the way. Welcome to the show!
Sydney Duarte and Osiris Rain may be some of the biggest names in the CLT art scene. Responsible for some of the most recognizable and Instagramable works around these parts, they’ve installed big, award-winning art all over the world, too.
But it’s a smaller, startup project called the TAOH Outdoor Gallery that’s got these two heavy-hitters paired with the Piece for Peace Movement, the City of Charlotte, Proffitt Dixon Partners, Art Walks CLT, and other artists. And it’s all about paying it forward. They’re pooling resources, sharing space, and providing opportunities for up-and-coming creators to collaborate with established artists in a low-stakes environment. They’re literally working to build the proving ground they wished they’d had.
If that sounds hippy-dippy, kumbaya AF, that’s because it kinda is. And we love it.
Let’s get into it on this episode of The Raising a Ruckus Podcast.
