This week’s guest is Stoney Samsoe, executive director and co-founder of Open AIR. Founded in 2019, Open AIR is dedicated to bringing creativity to diverse communities across Montana. Open AIR is perhaps best known for its amazing artist-in-residence program.
In this episode, Stoney describes Open AIR’s purpose as focused on making artists keystone species in communities. And to continue the metaphor, Stoney talks about how she sees artists as crucial in the human ecology of a community.
