Podcasting has become a big deal in the past few years. Yeah, it’s still something that you can do from your bedroom. But similar to how anyone can have their own website, the best ones are still of a higher quality and consistently provide us with interesting content.

On Saturday, August 27th from 6:30pm to 9pm, the CANVAS Institute will be hosting the opening exhibition for a series of ten, bold red paintings by artist Vince MacDermot entitled BIG RED NYC.
