Making Ways

Josette Melchor operates best in a space loosely defined and without labels, hence the name of the nonprofit she founded, Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, which is dedicated to applying art and technology to create social and civic impact. On this episode of Making Ways, Josette talks about her unconventional upbringing in the desert of Indio, California (best known for hosting the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival), the moment as a late teen she discovered her passion for art, how Gray Area came to be, and the collaborations with local artists, technologists, and tech giants that keep each and every day fresh and help her grow as an individual, a community leader, a manager, and a mentor. Tune in for a fascinating tale of a creative career born of curiosity and rooted in making a change for good. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
