On the corner of 85th Street in Jackson Heights, A.R.T. (short for Art Retail Therapy), has more than just brushes and colored pencils. It’s a space that invites artists and non-artists alike to share their art and life stories – or to simply get lost among the well-stocked shelves. Francisco Segarra opened A.R.T. in 202. Today, the Queer and Latinx-owned shop is a community arts center.

In this episode we talk with Francisco and business partner Charlie Márquez to learn more about A.R.T., running a small business, and building a community.
