Renee explains how CSR initiatives, such as local beach cleanups, tree planting, or bringing supplies to a local school, can be powerfully grounding experiences that connect attendees to the community in a meaningful way, even on a tight schedule.

On this week's episode of Women Speak — a segment on Northeast Newscast — hosts Northeast News Editor-in-Chief, Julia Williams and former Missouri House Representative for District 19 Ingrid Burnett sat down with Director and Chief Executive Officer of The Museum of Kansas City, Anna Marie Tutera to continue our series on women in education.Throughout this episode, Tutera delves into her background, her journey back to Kansas City from New Mexico — where she lived for several years — and how she stepped into the role she is in now. Tutera shares what is to come at The Museum of Kansas City, including a teaser involving clothing, textiles and costumes with pieces from the former Garment District Museum at 801 Broadway Blvd. She additionally discusses future opportunities in the works for adults and youth at The Museum — one being its Workforce and Career Development Program, which it is working toward with funding assistance from The Kauffman Foundation. She shares a bit of her family history as well as those who have inspired her along the way. Another update The Museum is working toward that Tutera highlights is a renovation of its carriage house, which is currently in the early stages of the planning process. This will feature Kansas City's agriculture, equestrian and transportation history as well as tales of Kansas City residents' migration journeys.  Williams shares a brief history and statistics from the Association of Museum Art Directors on the percentage of women involved in the museum field within the U.S. — as well as a dive into early women in the museum field. This includes the very first museum founder and curator during the year 530 BCE (correction: during the podcast, Williams mentions the year on first reference as 430 BCE. This was the year 530 BCE) along with influential women during the 18th century within the museum field. Williams and Tutera additionally discuss ways for the community to get involved and engage with museums from The Museum of Kansas City's foundation board to the Northeast Kansas City Historical Society. Music used within this Women Speak episode is a song called “I Wish I Knew You Then” by Kansas City local artist Honeybee and the group's lead female vocalist, Makayla Scott. “I Wish I Knew You Then” is a recent single, which Honeybee released in March 2025.  Honeybee's latest single “Lindenlure,” was released on May 30 and is now available on its streaming platforms. 2025 singles “I Wish I Knew You Then,” “Charmed Life” and “Lindenlure” as well as additional Honeybee tracks are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, TIDAL and Youtube Music. *Disclaimer* I Wish I Knew You Then and any previous or future Honeybee songs used by The Northeast News within the Women Speak podcasts are courtesy of and approved by Makayla Scott and Honeybee under proper copyright law.

Gary and Jake discuss if there should be exhibitions in college football since they are in mostly every other sport

In this episode you will hear the first result of my tour to Switzerland back in May. One of my stops was at Zentrum Paul Klee in Berne to interview Fabienne Eggelhöfer, chief curator of the ZPK. Paul Klee created so much art during his lifetime – in his last year of life alone 1.253 works. Exhibitions of his work are still a huge audience magnet. He is today one of the best-known artists of the Bauhaus. But his career had started much earlier than with his appointment as Bauhaus master; he had lived a full life before. In the beginning, becoming a musician (like his parents and his wife Lily) was even in the cards. But Klee decided that all good music had already been written, and so he chose to become a painter, but music would always be a big part of his art and private life.   While studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich Klee felt that he would never be able to learn painting. Travelling to Tunisia in 1914 would become pivotal for Klee's paintings – that's at least what he wrote. In Tunis, he discovered the color, he said, and thus now finally IS a painter.   When Gropius asked Paul Klee to come teach at the Bauhaus in 1920 the school was still very young and struggling to become what it is known for today. Wassily Kandinsky, with whom Klee had earlier been part of the „Blaue Reiter“ art group, was also appointed and the two of them were the real magnets to attract young students to the Bauhaus. Paul Klee, though, was unexperienced as a teacher and had to find his own ways – and never had enough time for his own art – a crucial point in deciding to leave the Bauhaus after 10 years. In the writings of many Bauhauslers Klee is often portrayed as a mentor, capable of painting with both hands at the same time. But also, as someone, who's teaching the students only understood much later – after their time at the Bauhaus.

What if joy became the most important metric when we organised events? Or, to put it another way, why are so many events uninspiring and not very joyful?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined by event strategist, educator, and author Tahira Endean to explore a provocative question: what if we measured events not just by financial metrics, but by the joy they deliver?Drawing from her new book Our KPI is Joy: How Live Events Catalyze Happiness, Productivity and Trust, Tahira shares deep insights from decades of experience curating and designing events at scale, including her work with IMEX, one of the largest global gatherings in the meetings and events industry. We discuss why so many events feel soul-crushingly mediocre and how that reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what people really need when they come together. Tahira challenges the industry's obsession with surface-level logistics and proposes a reorientation around human experience.She unpacks everything from the science of connection and discomfort to the power of design, food, space, and unexpected joy to foster trust and productivity. Whether you're an event professional, a business leader, or simply someone who's sat through one too many lifeless conferences, this conversation will challenge how you think about convening people. We discuss beanbags, sound baths, shrimp, secret handshakes, and how small design decisions can profoundly impact how people feel, learn, and connect. And that's what makes joy — not an emoji or indulgence — but a powerful performance indicator.Guest Bio: Tahira EndeanTahira is an experienced event strategist, educator, and co-founder of Strategy Table. She serves as Head of Programme for IMEX, where she curates content for two of the world's largest MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) industry gatherings in Frankfurt and Las Vegas. With over three decades in the events industry, Tahira has developed a reputation for her forward-thinking approach to event design and human-centric experiences. She teaches event strategy and design, is a passionate advocate for experiential innovation, and brings a behavioural lens to the way we bring people together. She believes in the power of micro-moments, psychological safety, and events as catalysts for human connection and organisational trust.AI-Generated Timestamp Summary0:00:02 - 0:14:48: Maximizing Event Joy for ProductivityThe episode kicks off with a discussion on how joy can be a key performance indicator (KPI) for events. Tahira Endeen, an experienced event strategist, talks about why many events end up being mediocre and how small design changes can significantly enhance the experience. The conversation highlights the importance of joy in fostering happiness, productivity, and trust during gatherings, challenging the traditional business mindset to value joy as much as other KPIs. 0:14:48 - 0:29:08: Designing Events for Human ConnectionThis segment delves into the principles of intentional event design. Tahira and the host explore how creating environments that balance comfort and stimulation can lead to more meaningful interactions and learning experiences. They discuss examples like the 11th International Conference on AIDS, where well-designed events led to groundbreaking innovations. The focus is on nurturing individual experiences over catering to the masses.0:29:08 - 0:37:32: Designing Thoughtful & Engaging EventsThe focus here is on fostering connections and joy in professional events through thoughtful design. Strategies like facilitating introductions by senior managers and organising diverse breakout sessions are explored. The segment underscores the importance of measuring engagement and joy, emphasizing a human-centered approach that considers attendees' needs and enhances productivity and satisfaction.0:37:32 - 0:49:24: Embracing Experimentation and FailureTahira shares insights on the value of experimentation and adaptability in event planning. Through a personal anecdote, she illustrates how innovative ideas, initially met with scepticism, can yield significant benefits. The conversation encourages making small changes, embracing failures as learning opportunities, and maintaining a proactive attitude to achieve unexpected successes. 0:49:24 - 1:01:30: Navigating Event Chaos for SuccessThe episode explores the beauty of embracing imperfections in event planning. Tahira and the host discuss how handling mistakes with grace and humour can add charm to events. They advocate for flexibility in event processes to enhance experiences for both speakers and attendees, maintaining the magic even amidst logistical challenges.LinksIMEX Events - https://imexevents.com/Strategy Table - https://strategytable.co/Our KPI is Joy Book - https://www.amazon.com/Our-KPI-Joy-Happiness-Productivity-ebook/dp/B0DXVX6XX8Tahira on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tahira-endean-msc-citp-cmp-ced-918a868/?

On this episode of Tourism Tuesday, hosted by Janet Michael, the focus was on a timeless event: Colonial Kids Day. Bringing history to life, this event, organized by the Clarke County Historical Association and headed by Executive Director Nathan Stalvey, is set to take place on July 12th at the picturesque Burwell-Morgan Mill. As Nathan explained in detail, this family-friendly event isn't just about walking through history, it's about living it. Through hands-on activities like grinding roasted corn, rifle demonstrations by reenactors, and making corn husk dolls, kids and their families are immersed in the rich tapestry of colonial life. Remarkably, this year marks a significant expansion in participation, with organizations such as the Sons of the American Revolution and the Loudoun Heritage Farm Museum joining the festivities. And for a nominal fee of $5, it offers an affordable way for families to spend a fun-filled educational day together while learning about history. The event runs from 11 AM to 4 PM, and Nathan shared his hopes for favorable weather—anything but the extremes they've seen in past years will do! In addition to Colonial Kids Day, the Burwell-Morgan Mill is a hive of activity with its ongoing art exhibitions and upcoming events. Janet and Nathan discussed two significant initiatives: the Mill Dam Celebration and the Art at the Mill Show. Scheduled for August 15th, the Mill Dam Celebration will honor the completion of critical repairs to the mill dam with festivities that include the introduction of a new lager brewed with barley ground at the mill. The Art at the Mill Show, a longstanding tradition since 1990, continues to draw in artists from various mediums—paintings, sculptures, wood turning, and even glasswork. With the call for artists beginning on July 7th, it's a buzzing time for the local art community. Adding a unique twist to their events, the mill is currently hosting the Summer Support Art Show, featuring works by an anonymous local artist who has generously decided to donate 100% of the art sales to support the mill. What makes this show special is its pay-what-you-wish pricing, with a minimum of $50. This initiative not only makes art accessible to more people but also strongly supports the mill's operations. Nathan also introduced Dana Getka, the new Curator of Archives and Exhibitions, who brings with her a deep passion for military history and a wealth of knowledge in archival science and history. Her role will focus on maintaining the historical collection, developing new exhibits, and eventually sharing her research insights with the community. As the discussion wrapped up, Janet and Nathan highlighted the upcoming membership drive in August, encouraging the community to support the Clarke County Historical Association. Membership perks include event discounts, access to research libraries, and more. For all things history and events, Nathan pointed listeners to their website clarkehistory.org and their social media channels.

De la Vénus de Milo à la Joconde en passant par Les demoiselles d'Avignon ou la Jeune fille à la Perle, les femmes sont souvent représentées dans les œuvres d'art. Mais quand il s'agit des femmes artistes, elles semblent bien moins présentes voire absentes des galeries ou des musées. Au-delà peut-être de la peintre Frida Kahlo ou de l'artiste multi-casquettes Niki de Saint Phalle, les noms de femmes connues dans le monde de l'art ne viennent pas facilement en tête pour le grand public. En France, un seul musée porte le nom d'une femme, celui de la sculptrice Camille Claudel. Les femmes seraient-elles moins créatives, moins talentueuses que les hommes ? Evidemment non, les femmes citées plus haut ont d'ailleurs su gagner leur place dans le milieu artistique et prouver leur légitimité. La sous-représentation de l'art au féminin pose néanmoins question et le sujet est loin d'être anecdotique. En créant, peignant, sculptant, c'est aussi une vision du monde, une sensibilité, une représentation des corps, un regard sur nos sociétés que les artistes proposent. Il est donc important de pouvoir aussi entendre le point de vue des femmes. Le problème est également pécuniaire, car si l'art est un marché, ce sont encore les hommes qui obtiennent la plus grosse part du gâteau. Comment visibiliser l'art féminin ? Quels rôles des musées et des galeries ?   Avec : • Camille Morineau, historienne de l'art et commissaire d'exposition.

We have an interview episode! Gallerist Sarah Le Quang Sang showcases and promotes female and queer artists, fighting, one step at a time, to reduce the price gap between genders, the lack of LGBTQIA+ representation in archives, collections, art fairs and private collections, but also the linear conception of artistic careers.You wouldn't leave the shop without paying for your latte, right?Buy us a ⁠latte⁠ ;-)How empowering can the #artmarket be? How can a commercial gallery push boundaries? Be more inclusive? And what are the intersections between collections, trans rights, motherhood, family and queer communities? Sarah Le Quang Sang may not have all the answers, but she has all the good questions. She asks: why are birthdates important? Why is there an artistic career template? Who has access to museum collections? Art fairs? If you enjoyed this episode, and if you enjoy reading, Joana's ⁠Substack⁠ might be for you.A new star in the constellation of London galleries, Sarah Le Quang Sang, established a commercial gallery in Shoreditch in 2024–SLQS–to champion female and queer artists. We mention her current exhibition of three Vietnamese artists, Vicky Do, Hua Dung-Clerget and Duong Thuy Nguyen, as well as the previous exhibition by trans non-binary artist Bex Wade which prompted an acquisition of their work by the V&A, now shown at Young V&A Bethnal Green. We had to mention the Supreme Court Ruling in past April reducing gender to biological sex, and thus legally erasing trans women particularly, and the trans community in general. Bex Wade was invited to write about the photos of the exhibition (Queer nightlife in the US in 2010s, a time of lightness and joy) in the context of anti-trans movements rising and becoming more vocal. I read an excerpt of the text at the end of the episode.⁠SIGN UP⁠⁠ for the NEWSLETTER!

Jill tells us about her transition from urban planning to painting later in life, initially exploring drawing classes after being a stay-at-home mom. Her artistic approach emphasizes experimentation, embracing failure, and avoiding predictable techniques, which she believes is crucial for artistic growth. She recommends emerging artists take drawing classes, work with limited palettes, and focus on embracing the process of creating art rather than fixating on the final product. She also recommends for artists to seek out other artists and build a network in the art world, which can help in terms of career and also technique.

This week. Dana's back? She and Duncan sit down with artist Wafaa Bilal and curator Bana Kattan to discuss Bilal's powerful and deeply personal mid-career retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Known for his provocative, often participatory works that grapple with war, trauma, displacement, and surveillance, Bilal has long made the body both a site of resistance and a vessel of memory. We talk through key moments in Bilal's practice—from early performance pieces like Domestic Tension to newer, installation-based works—and reflect on how his work has shifted, expanded, and endured over the past two decades. Kattan, who curated the exhibition, shares insights into the retrospective's structure and the challenges of contextualizing work that refuses easy categorization. While reminiscing, Duncan and Wafaa also talk through what it means to make art as a form of witnessing, how museums hold space for pain and politics, and why Bilal still believes in the power of beauty… (Spoiler: Duncan isn't sure, but Bana and Dana side with Wafaa.)
