This episode of 'Changing the Channel' features an in-depth conversation with Leah Beach, founder of the Developing Artist Collaboration in southern Delaware as well as a mural artist, photojournalist, and aspiring author. The discussion starts with the host's perspective on the intrinsic connection between spirituality and creativity, emphasizing how creative endeavors allow individuals to tap into a realm beyond the conventional five senses. Leah shares her journey, starting from a challenging childhood through her discovery and pursuit of art, which led her to transformative experiences in Kenya and ultimately to founding DAC.

The conversation delves into the evolution and purpose of DAC, highlighting its pivot during the pandemic towards providing career support and creating a virtual community hub for artists. The dialogue also touches on the broader implications of art in society, the challenges of monetizing creativity, and the potential future where the value of art isn't solely tied to its commercial success. The episode ends with a reflection on finding one's purpose, the power of manifesting visions of the future, and an invitation to artists everywhere to join the DAC community.
