Before we get started this week we wanted to remind you that Two Artsy Gals now has a Patreon account and you can become a patron you’re your favorite artsy podcast by becoming a monthly supporter! We hate doing yearly drives for listener support, but we are 100% listener supported so what doesn’t get covered by listeners comes out of Katie and Loni’s own pockets… which is sometimes hard to manage when providing free entertainment! Please consider becoming a monthly supporter at Patreon.
We had April Fool’s Day on our minds this week so The Gals decided to do an episode on art pranks. They cover some famous art pranks, some classic art pranks, and some simple but fun ways you can use art to prank the world around you.
