“If there was no art, we would live in a completely different world.” -Amy Fortunato, Unapologetically Creative Episode Two
VCFA is proud to announce its new podcast, Unapologetically Creative. VCFA’s cornerstone podcast “highlights how VCFA’s collaborative community empowers creators to challenge convention, embrace risk, and lead with purpose.” Unapologetically Creative saw its soft launch in June of 2025 with the release of the first three episodes of season one. The release of episode four on September 10, 2025 signified the podcast’s official launch.
Each 30-minute episode is hosted by VCFA President Andrew Ramsammy and features engaging, one-on-one interviews with VCFA’s extensive network of boundary-pushing artists working across disciplines. Unapologetically Creative as a podcast is, above all, a conversation: a conversation about what it means to be fearless in your creativity.
“Unapologetically creative to me is being a brave and courageous creative person that can design without fear of someone else saying, ‘You know what? That’s not good.’ You have to do the best that you can do. You can’t control the way that other people react to your work, but if you are a creative person and you believe in your ideas and you can have the bravery and the courage to put your ideas out there, that to me is unapologetically creative.” -Michael Riley, Unapologetically Creative Episode Three
The first four episodes are live now, with more to be released every two weeks on Wednesdays starting in September of 2025. Listeners can enjoy unapologetically creative conversations with artists such as the founder of Shine Studio, Michael Riley; book artist Amy Fortunato; performance and visual artist Elizabeth Tremante; and creative entrepreneur David Jon Walker. Upcoming episodes include the likes of Newbery award-winning author Linda Sue Park, bassist and composer Miller Wren, and many more. Season two is already in development and will be released early in 2026.
