The Canvas’s Brandon Howard and Kathryn Kell were on A Juneau Afternoon on Thursday with host Shona Strauser and spoke about the Tiles and Fire community art project.

Interview highlight

“You put whatever you want on the tile and you don’t really have complete control of what comes out. What comes out is heavily influenced by what Kathryn does and what I do, and by what the fire does. What comes out is a real collaborative unit.” –Brandon Howard
