Today, we have Ruth Soderlund on the show. Ruth is a Fresno artist passionate about building connections within the art community. Her new endeavor, The Artist Mentorship Project kicks off this month, April, 2025. The project aims to link artists of varied skill and professional experience to provide young and emerging artists with support as they pursue their individual career goals.
Ruth hopes that this will be a catalyst to bring some big ideas to life, drawing attention and economic growth to the art made here in Fresno. This was a wonderful conversation. Ruth and I are aligned on so many of our goals for Fresno, and I know you'll love her.
