Episode 172: What To Do in Sanford (Folk Art Version)
Send us your Florida questions!
Florida has a treasure trove of Folk, or Self-Taught, Artists. Bailey Wright, with Jeanine Taylor Folk Art in Sanford, joins the podcast to talk about Florida Folk art and the gallery's upcoming exhibit (featuring Rick!), Florida Gothic. While the show runs a limited time, there's no shortage of arts, food, and culture in Sanford. Rick, Bailey, and Cathy talk about all the things and yes, Sanford does have a craft marshmallow maker.
