If you're unfamiliar with Art Office, that's not surprising! We're brand new, and partnering with Public Space One in Iowa City, Iowa to beta test the idea online. But what exactly is Art Office?
We're a simulated workplace in which individual artists are prompted to engage consistently in their creative practices using the approach of a typical office environment.
Over the past month, we've been clocking in and out, logging daily activities, attending meetings, working live from our home studios, sharing on Instagram, making small-talk around the virtual water cooler, and even taking [mandatory] daily calisthenics breaks. We hope you'll tune in live to witness the fruits of our labor, and learn more about this exciting new way to energize your creative practice.

Montez Press Radio was founded in 2018 with the goal of fostering greater experimentation and conversation between artists, writers, and thinkers through the medium of radio. This platform is an experiment in broadcasting and community building which allows different corners of the art world to interact with each other in person and on air—a place where media finally meets flesh. Offering space and time to both the established and emerging or underrepresented, we are drawn to art that exists in the unexpected, the authenticity of sharing without a script, the sounds of ideas in the making, conversation that forgets there’s an audience. We strive to question current knowledge economies while doing our best to interrupt commercial means of communication.
