My name is Louis Vargas and this is The (art)Scene Podcast. I am originally from San Diego where I grew up and then attended the University of San Diego. About five years ago, I moved up to San Francisco to pursue a masters degree in exhibition and museum studies at the San Francisco Art Institute. I now work for a local museum in the Bay Area. After reconnecting with some of my classmates from grad school, I realized that many of them have gone on to pursue a variety of careers. Hearing the stories behind their career decisions and what they hoped to accomplish, inspired me to start The (art)Scene Podcast, a series of conversations with artists, gallery owners and art/museum professionals. With each guest I’ll try to discuss not only their work, but other facets of their lives and the stories that come with them.
