Welcome to Art Yap, where host Shawna Vesco Ahern gabs, gossips, and otherwise chitchats with San Francisco Bay Area arts and culture baddies about how they build community through creativity—and the winding, unpredictable paths that led them here.

Guests bring fresh takes on curation, arts project management, community programming, funding, legislation, marketing, and more—whether they’re reimagining museums, running collaborative book projects, framing Asawas, or curating in unexpected places. From the SF Arts Commission to SFMOMA, from Recology SF to the Peninsula Book Collaborative, Art Yap is where the Bay’s creative ecosystem comes to talk shop, spill stories, and dream out loud.

Like, follow, and subscribe to Art Yap wherever you get your podcasts—and join the conversation.
