Garrett is joined by Brian Fencl, Professor of Art, and Director of the Nutting Gallery at West Liberty University. This week, Garrett and Brian dive into some of the reasons visual arts are so important for fly-over country. Are rural Americans portrayed fairly in art? Should the government continue to support the arts? Is it even possible to define what art is?  All coming up in this episode of Forgotten America.   Brian Fencl, @fenclstudio https://westliberty.edu/media-visual-arts/faculty/brian-fencl/  Nutting Gallery at West Liberty University, https://westliberty.edu/media-visual-arts/gallery/    Hosted by Garrett Ballengee @gballeng Produced & Edited by Tony Reed @treed1134 Executive Producer Amanda Kieffer @akieffer13 Follow:  YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram Support:  Patreon, Donate, Newsletter
