About this episode
Dennis McNett discusses his unique artistic journey and the transformative power of art in communities.
Get ready to leave the white-cube gallery behind. In our latest episode, we're stepping into the wild, mythic world of Dennis McNett (AKA Wolfbat). For over 30 years, Dennis has been carving out a career that defies every "standard" artistic path. Dennis doesn't just make art—he builds universes. He is a modern-day storyteller who reminds us that when you combine woodcuts with community and a bit of "Wolfbat" energy, art has the power to transform entire towns.
