Podcast

Empowering Artists, Elevating the Arts

 

At The Vanguard is a home for artists, educators, and seekers who believe that art is not optional — it is essential. Hosted by musician and educator Christopher Lloyd Bratten-Zappala, each episode explores what it means to live artfully and transcend limitations.

 

This is more than a podcast. It is the voice of the forthcoming Vanguard Institute for the Arts: a community where art is studied, created, taught, preserved, and celebrated. Here, you’ll meet artists and thinkers at the forefront of their fields, discover ideas that challenge and inspire, and be reminded of your own capacity for excellence and creativity.

 

Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply someone who longs for more beauty and meaning in life, this podcast is for you. Together, we’ll keep the flame of the arts alive — and carry it forward into the future.​
