Off the Pedestal is a podcast that uncovers the real-life stories behind great artists and the art they created. Hosted by BMA Director of Public Programs Tracey Beale, each episode explores the messy, complicated, deeply human experiences behind some of history’s most celebrated artists. Because artists aren’t so different from the rest of us.
