Fostering and Protecting Originality | Leo Fitzpatrick
Podcast Host Emily McElwreath and Leo Fitzpatrick in Public Access Gallery, NYC.
In our 4th episode of The Art Career, Emily McElwreath interviews the multifaceted Leo Fitzpatrick. This may be one of the most perceptive and honest interviews you’ll ever listen to about what the art world is really like today. We discuss how Leo measures success and what makes the art world so dysfunctional these days on TAC Podcast’s Season 1 : Episode 4. Listen now via anchor.fm/theartcareer
Many know Leo Fitzpatrick for his acting career, launching at age 14 as Telly in Larry Clark’s Kids. You may have seen him later in his career appearing in The Wire, Carnivale, Banshee and Sons of Anarchy.
However, we’re her for Leo’s exceptional, intersectional career as a gallerist, actor and DJ. Somehow Leo Fitzpatrick might’ve done what many are aspiring for - as we look at him now - we see someone who has successfully pursued everything he’s ever been passionate about - on top of that he’s growing a family and fostered a community in one of the most challenging cities in the world.
Public Access is a space bent on a wild-hearted, community-minded programming that’s reminiscent of the city’s scrappier days.
