This week's episode on the Artist Academy Podcast is all about mural meetups—what they are, how I plan them, and why they’ve become one of my favorite ways to mix art with adventure.

I’m sharing stories from recent trips to Florida, Costa Rica, Mexico, Barcelona, and St. Croix, where I teamed up with other artists to paint murals in exchange for accommodations (yes, you can trade your talent for a tropical stay :palm_tree::art:).

We’ll dive into how I find these opportunities—spoiler: Facebook groups are gold—and the real talk about what can go wrong, from flaky hosts to surprise logistical curveballs. Plus, I’m breaking down what I’ve learned from each experience to help you plan your own paint-and-travel adventure.

If the idea of creating art in a beautiful location with like-minded artists lights you up, this episode is for you.
