Episode 8
Arts @ Large w/ Sean Kiebzak
This week on the pod, we welcome the CEO of Arts @ Large, Sean Kiebzak.
In the intro, as Lindsay is on vacation, David and Mac indirectly discuss the Oscar’s slap by way of discussing the context of acts of violence. They reflect on fights they recall, as well as moments of tender male camaraderie from their formative years.
Around 21:30, (the legendary) Sean Kiebzak joins the Imagine team and speaks about his progressive trajectory from artist to arts educator, to arts administrator, to becoming the CEO of Arts @ Large. In the conversation, Sean reflects on his diverse background in music, which includes experience as a drummer in a SKA band, a roadie for a touring band in the UK, and a member of a family band that was heavily drawn upon in the local Yoga Studio circuit. The group discusses the ways in which creativity is central to leadership development and problem-solving. Sean reflects on how Arts @ Large serves artists, students, teachers, and the whole community through a myriad of intersectional educational programs, and speaks about its physical expansion and programmatic pivots during the pandemic. On behalf of Milwaukee, Sean challenges Indianapolis to an arm wrestling contest for the right to host future Drumcore events.
