A podcast interview with Appalachia Meets World

You all know how the military is near and dear to my heart, this interview was released on Veteran’s Day Nov. 2022. I love talking art and even more how it bonds communities and regions. I think this interview could have went on for another hour easily addressing creative placemaking, working with branding, growth, and downtown development.

Enjoy this interview and write up below!

Thank you for all that have and continue to serve on this Veteran's Day!  In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with Appalachian Creative and Artrepreneur Kellene Turner.  She discusses her work/art throughout Appalachia, her murals, and the process she goes through as she immerses herself in the communities to become a local.  You will hear how important art is to her personally and how it can transform a community and often the first thing thought of to help revitalize a small town.  Take a listen to what drives her, her connection to place and how we can make the "KT Mural Trail" a reality!  You might even hear what Neil would do if he won the lottery (hint - it has something to do with an Island and a country singer) and what drew him to actually watch an award show...or at least a little of it.
