I'd Like to Speak to the (Arts) Manager Kathryn Wene

In this special episode, I was joined by Jackson Cooper, Major Gifts Officer for the Pacific Northwest Ballet. While we do talk about covid and its impact on PNB and development, we spend some time talking about the impact that the pandemic has had and will continue to have on those getting ready to enter the workforce. With more importance being given to having remote-friendly workspaces, what does that mean for the arts and negotiating those terms of hire? What leverage do new hires have in this changing environment? Tune in to hear Jackson's take on all this and more!

In the last episode of season 1, I talk with Lisa Shames and Fran Jeens of the Jewish Museum London. Lisa, Fran, and the entire museum team have been doing some incredibly innovative work during the time of quarantine in England, and I was so excited to catch up with them to learn how they're adapting to "the new normal." The Jewish Museum is located in Camden Town on the north side of London and features an extensive collection of Jewish culture and heritage artifacts. Before lockdown, they offered school tours to thousands of students each year from across London and a number of community events such as neighborhood walks and family days, and they have gone to great lengths to stay connected to their community and audience.

In this week's episode, I talk to Celeste Fetta, Director of Education for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia. The VMFA was fortunate enough to transition many of their education offerings to a virtual platform during lockdown and has since successfully reopened its galleries. Celeste and I were also joined by her children who were home from school while she worked remotely for the day.
