Скачать или смотреть Building Creative Liberties: Empowering Artists Through Community and Collaboration

In this inspiring episode of The Artist Next Level Podcast, Sergio Gomez sits down with Barbara Gerdman and Elizabeth Goodwill, co-founders of Creative Liberties in Sarasota, Florida — a thriving artist-led organization providing studio spaces, exhibitions, and support services for local artists.

Barbara and Elizabeth share how their vision for Creative Liberties grew out of their shared passion for community and collaboration. What began as an idea between two artists has become a creative hub serving over 40 artists through studio spaces, residencies, and emerging artist opportunities.

You’ll hear how they built their incubator-style model for artistic growth, the importance of collaboration over competition, and their mission to empower artists to see themselves as both creators and entrepreneurs.

Barbara also shares insights into her own mixed media art practice, which fuses collage, music, and interactive storytelling. Together, they discuss how Creative Liberties continues to evolve and their upcoming Artist Wellness and Business Event in March 2026, co-hosted with Sergio and Dr. Yanina Gomez.
