Highbrow Honey

Welcome to your weekly sweet bite of art history!

Together with host Celia Bugno, listeners will make their way through today's ever-expanding visual culture by discussing major arts-world stories from the last week each Tuesday, and by deep-diving into groundbreaking moments from the art historical past once-monthly. Talking through the weird, the infamous, the hilarious, and even the seemingly pointless of visual culture in order to understand our present, Celia brings you all the "highbrow" knowledge she can get her hands on in short, sweet episodes designed to keep you hooked and just maybe teach you a little something. This is Highbrow Honey!

Celia Bugno holds a Master's in Art History, specialized in Contemporary arts, from Arizona State University (2023), and a B.A. in Art History from Miami University (2016). Her primary goal in podcasting is to inspire the same love of learning in her listeners that her professors and mentors have inspired in her through the efforts of her work.
