Art & Company Podcast listens closely to Miami’s art world from the point of view of people working inside it. Alette Simmons-Jimenez anchors the show as a Miami-based artist and host, creating room for conversations that feel informed without becoming stiff. The format is simple and durable. A guest arrives with a project, a history, or a body of work, and the discussion widens into process, place, collaboration, and cultural memory. Miami is the recurring frame. Episodes visit the Miami Design District, artist studios, local exhibitions, arts writing, film and video work, radio performance, music, and the business realities that surround creative lives. The show is especially strong when it traces how one relationship leads to another. A curator connects an artist with a filmmaker. A writer’s early reviews become a record of a changing local scene. A cultural space reveals how collecting, real estate, design, and public art can overlap. These are not fast promotional chats. They are measured conversations with enough space for backstory, uncertainty, and practical detail. Tiffany Chestler’s episode links S|223, DACRA, the Greg Robbins Collection, and the Miami Design District into a broader conversation about art in a transforming neighborhood. Episodes with Elisa Turner and Anne Tschida treat arts writing as both craft and civic record. The first episode’s discussion of creative crossover makes the show’s larger interest clear: art is rarely sealed off from design, business, education, performance, or community work. The guest list also gives the series range. It includes Jessica Mitrani, Francine Birbragher-Rozencwaig PhD, Rhonda Mitrani, Claire Breukel, Pamela Salem, Mitchell Berkman, Paolo Buggiani, Jaime Piña, and Cinzia Sarto. Some episodes lean historical. Others are anchored in a recent exhibition, a performance, or a studio project. Across them, the show values context over spectacle. It suits listeners who want Miami’s arts culture explained through lived experience, not press-release polish.
Made for: For listeners interested in Miami’s visual arts community, artist process, curatorial work, arts writing, design culture, performance, film, and creative careers. It especially suits people who enjoy thoughtful interviews with local context and room for digression.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by treating Miami’s arts scene as an interconnected community rather than a calendar of events. Its strongest episodes connect personal histories, cultural spaces, and creative labor into a fuller picture of how art circulates through the city.
