Who we are
We Don’t Have All the Answers—But We’re Figuring It Out Together.
Three souls. One city. Countless dreams.
Art You Crazy was born from late nights, bold ideas, and the belief that creativity isn’t meant to be perfect—it’s meant to be real.
Hosted by Tessie Herrasti, Erin Elizabeth Reed, and now Mel Mandara stepping out from behind the scenes, we’re here to share our stories—the highs, the lows, and all the messy, magical moments in between.
