Ep.73 | The Pharmhouse Wellness Art Market: A Podumentary… – Creative Ops

Pharmhouse Wellness, Grand Rapids, Michigan's only locally owned and operated dispensary, had another art market. Again I sold books and (someone else's (my daugher's!)) art. This time, however, I brought my podcast gear and made a whole thing of it, talking to a little bit of every kind of person around: pot smokers, local celebrities, art enthusiasts, art vendors, budtenders, and one of the event organizers. And Mike Logan did a great read of the back of my book Switchers, which I encourage you to read. Your future self will thank you… . . . The interviewees are: Mike Logan | IG: @icecoldcomedian Matt "soon-to-be from GR" Sweda | IG: @mattsweda Frankie | IG: @stolenchapstick K.C. | IG: @kcnextdoo_ & @nailzbykc_ Loyiso "Lou" Matanda | IG: @loyisomatandabey Ashley Nash | IG: @nashleyillustration ; nashleyillustration@gmail.com Kate Lewis | IG: @claykate ; http://www.katelewisceramics.com/shop Dean from BEDROOM CEILINGS | Insta and Facebook @bedroomceilings . . . Shout out to my tent sharing artists from the two markets: Los The Artist and Savannah Jade. One more to Michigrown for sponsoring the event and giving away some nice freebies! Hope to see you at the next one August 20, 2022, at Pharmhouse Wellness in Grand Rapids, Michigan!

…even more.

Megan Smith is an artist who mainly works with natural materials and does beautiful stuff you can check out on Instagram @mossberrymarvels.

She also manages the socials for Pharmhouse Wellness, as well as organizing their events with Ashley Nash (who you heard on the podcast above a little bit!).

We talk art, process, social media, mental health, events, tv (the name of the show was Wilfred…) and movies, run-ins with the law, local coffee (Shift Coffee + Culture), and other stuff!

We recorded in bean bag chairs next to the dispensary, so you’ll feel like you’re out on the lawn with friends as you hear some of the sounds of the city of Grand Rapids intermittently.

You can check out more on the show, its host (me), and my suspenseful, time-travel novel at www.christophertallon.com.

Do something creative and have a great day!
