The Best Art Podcasts for Artists and Art Lovers – Updated for 2025

Whether you’re an artist or a passionate art lover, the urge to immerse yourself in creativity at all hours of the day can be strong. Unfortunately, the responsibilities of life prevent us from spending all day at museums or in front of a canvas.

Art podcasts are the perfect bridge between daily life and artistic inspiration. These audio shows continue to grow in popularity, offering a wide range of content — from expert interviews and business advice to stories from art history and the creative process. Whether you’re in the studio, commuting, or doing the dishes, podcasts bring inspiration directly to your ears.

At AGI Fine Art, we’ve updated our list of recommended art podcasts to reflect some of the most engaging, thoughtful, and current voices in the art world. These are the shows our team listens to and shares with our artists.

The Thriving Artist Podcast

Still one of the most valuable resources for artists focused on the business of art. Produced by the Clark Hulings Fund, this show dives into real-world strategies for building a sustainable art career. Learn from artists, gallerists, and collectors who openly share their experiences and hard-earned lessons.

ArtCurious

Art history has never been this intriguing. Host Jennifer Dasal explores the unexpected, the mysterious, and the controversial side of art’s long timeline. If you love art and storytelling, this podcast delivers both with style.

The Great Women Artists

Katy Hessel’s interviews continue to spotlight female artists past and present, correcting the imbalance in how art history is taught and understood. In 2024, she expanded the show’s scope to include major retrospectives, art world events, and live recordings from international exhibitions.

The Lonely Palette

Tamar Avishai’s thoughtful podcast remains a favorite. By focusing on a single artwork per episode, and including visitors’ first impressions, she invites the audience into an intimate relationship with the work. Newer episodes have included deeper dives into museum curation and interpretation.

The Living Artist

Preston M. Smith’s positive, reflective tone makes this podcast a go-to for artists facing creative burnout or career uncertainty. His recent episodes have focused on mindset, resilience, and redefining success as an artist in today’s world.

Artist Decoded

A blend of philosophy, creativity, and self-inquiry. Host Yoshino’s guests include visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, and thinkers who challenge conventions. Recent episodes explore the intersection of AI and art, as well as the evolving identity of the 21st-century artist.

I Like Your Work

Erika B. Hess continues to offer honest conversations with artists, curators, and collectors. The podcast now includes critiques of current exhibitions, roundtable discussions, and a focus on building supportive art communities both online and offline.

Art Juice

New to our list, this UK-based podcast by artists Alice Sheridan and Louise Fletcher offers warm, relatable conversations about the creative process, artistic blocks, marketing, and running an art business with integrity. Highly recommended for emerging artists.

Creative Pep Talk

Another new favorite, hosted by illustrator Andy J. Pizza. This podcast mixes motivational storytelling, practical tips, and interviews to help artists stay inspired and focused. It’s quirky, fun, and full of creative energy.

Art Grind

Still unfiltered and refreshingly honest. Art Grind tackles what it really means to pursue a creative life. Topics include rejection, pricing your work, studio life, and everything in between. It’s real talk for real artists.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re searching for community, business advice, historical insights, or just a moment of inspiration, there’s an art podcast for you. These shows are easy to enjoy while working, going to work, or taking a break — and they can be a powerful companion to your creative journey.
