This week on Spill The Art Tea, performer and producer Jade Johnson joins us for a whirlwind tour through the latest art world headlines.

We talk:

🎨 Tate’s audience crisis – is “woke” curation to blame or is the art world just out of touch?

📜 A 700-year-old Chinese scroll that just sold for $32 million (and it’s not even AI-generated).

🌌 Light pollution from satellites — are we photobombing the cosmos?

👶 Tokyo’s 21-month-old abstract art prodigy — baby’s first solo show?

🏛️ Trump’s executive order for granite statues in a sculpture park of American “heroes” – yes, this is real.

💬 We spill the tea — from gallery elitism to paint-splattered toddlers.

It’s Episode 42 and we’ve got the kettle boiling with returning fave Ben Griffiths joining us to stir the art pot once more! From BASE-jumping off Notre-Dame to a $25 Renoir, and from unearthing forgotten feminist frescoes to landscaping a 25-acre Van Gogh homage — we’re talking about art that’s wild, overdue, or wonderfully accidental.

Plus: What’s the latest with the Sagrada Família’s bold new façade? And can you really plant your way into a painting? All that, and a few unexpected giggles, in this week’s spill. ✨

Welcome to Episode 41 of Spill the Art Tea – your weekly dose of unfiltered art world commentary.

🎙️ This week, we’re joined by the brilliant Tess Martin, an internationally celebrated animator known for her hand-crafted and experimental storytelling. Tess spills all on her creative process, the fluidity of working across borders, and why animation deserves a permanent seat at the high-art table.

📰 The week’s hottest art stories, including:

✨ E.T. phones Sotheby’s – Spielberg’s iconic animatronic alien is going under the hammer for millions. Is pop culture officially museum-worthy?

⏳ Rome limits your art time – The Galleria Borghese now gives you just 60 minutes to soak up centuries of art. Is this smart preservation or tourist tyranny?

🏛️ Should museums in the US be free? – With some institutions spending over $60 per visitor, new data fuels the debate on making art accessible for all.

🎨 Flannery O’Connor’s hidden art – The famed author turns out to have been a closet painter too. We love a multidisciplinary queen!

🎪 Art market or circus act? – One wine critic draws hilarious (and maybe accurate?) parallels between auction houses and big-top drama.

💬 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for your weekly art world tea — served hot, with a splash of sass and a pinch of purpose.
