Montez Press Radio is an experimental broadcasting and performance platform founded in 2018 with the goal of fostering greater experimentation and conversation between artists, writers, and thinkers through the medium of radio. The radio’s platform invites different corners of the art world to interact with each other in person and on air. Montez Press is drawn to art that exists in the unexpected, the authenticity of sharing without a script, the sounds of ideas in the making, conversation that forgets there’s an audience. All in-studio broadcasts are free and open to the public.
