Co-Hosts City Manager John Mauro and KPTZ’s Chris Bricker (sitting in for Taylor Clark), welcome journalist, writer and artist Mitzi Jo Gordon to Brewocracy Now. We talk about Mitzi’s journalistic and artistic life in the St. Petersburg-Tampa Bay Area, her life as an artist amid the bustle of Brooklyn and its all too hectic city pace, and then her choice to settle in Port Townsend. Once introduced to our town by her sister, Mitzi immediately knew she had found an artistic home. Socially engaged art as a genre that’s experiential, collaborative, and participatory, has been a significant side to Mitzi’s creative practice. She talks about her brief stint as Managing Editor of the Leader, and the importance of making honest choices—and ultimately the acceptance of her new role as Director of the Port Townsend Creative District.
