Thank you for spending another year with us at Why Make!

Rock Garden at Emma International Collaboration

Some of the ways we continued to spread our creative wings this past year: 

We traveled 2,000 miles to document the remarkable Emma Collaboration in northern Canada, a one-of-a-kind collaborative artists retreat. We presented our first Mind of a Maker episodes matching podcast artist interviews about one specific piece of work with short films (Check out “I Want to Paint the Moon” with Steve Fishman and “High Caliber Art” with Boris Bally.)

• We started working with accomplished audio producer Joe DeCeault who showed us just how artful audio storytelling can be. (That’s the Ellie Richard’s episode!) 

And check out what’s in store for 2025! 

• We’ll share numerous interviews from our trip to Emma including  conversations with Michael Hosulak and Lisa Geersten

• We’re setting our sights on producing both an audio and a film documentary about the history and reach of the Emma Collaboration, which has never been done before.

• More great Mind of a Maker episodes and short films with?? 

• More artful podcast episodes mixed by Joe DeCeault
