AG members Rob Riegel and Chris P. Jones join Brandon Wunder on the Art Bazaar podcast to discuss a range of topics!
A good portion of the episode is spent discussing the recent destruction of the Riverside Arts District in Asheville due to Hurricane Helene and the AG's trip to Asheville in 2023. The conversation also covers upcoming events at the AG, including Open World Animation Fest 2024, as well as insight into the break between seasons 1 and 2 of the Art Bazaar podcast.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
