The Beauty of Waiting: God's Plan Unfolds in Time The Homily today emphasizes the importance of patience . . . . . . in growing our faith and waiting on God's timing rather than our own. Using the story of Noah from Genesis, it highlights how he waited patiently before leaving the ark. We'll hear the significance and the lessons for us within the Homily. Similarly, in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus heals a blind man in stages, symbolizing the gradual process of spiritual growth. Why did Jesus have to perform the healing inn two stages, when other miracles are performed with a simple command? Faith Requires . . . The Homily stresses that faith is a journey that requires trust in God's timing. In a world that demands instant results, impatience can lead to discouragement and a loss of faith. However, the process of waiting is crucial as it prepares us for what God has in store. True faith requires patience, trust, and surrender to God's will. Understand the lessons of both readings today on our Spiritual Life. Listen to this Meditation Media.

In 1998, the groundbreaking artist Gordon Parks brought 177 rappers and hip hop artists, some of them rivals, together for his photograph, “A Great Day in Hip Hop.” When it was included in an exhibit at the St. Louis Art Museum, Adrian Octavius Walker was chosen to continue Parks' story by photographing a gathering of 116 members of the St. Louis music scene.

John Silvestri is a musician and painter. His artistic ability was noticed at the age of eight when he had his first public showing in the St. Louis Art Museum. After studying art in college, he apprenticed in Italy under modern painter and sculptor, Salvatore Leto. His art has been reviewed on international art talk radio as well as in several editorials, including the Herald Tribune, USF Oracle, and The Oregonian. At the age of 12, John began to discover a musical talent as well and in 2011, his original music scored the movie Prime of Your Life which was selected to Cannes Film Festival. Currently, his rock band Audio Orchid is based in Sarasota Florida. For many years, he drew on the synergy, and at times conflict, between his life as an artist and his devotion to music. The two passions have come to fuel each other and at times harmonize. Ideally, he plays music like he paints, and when he paints, he uses realizations arrived at through music. John values laughing his ass off, enjoying life every day, and at the same time, not delaying, procrastinating, or beating around the bush of one's dreams. He believes in doing what he is passionate about, doing it now, as much as possible, as well as he can, and not bullshiting himself along the way. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cutting-for-sign/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cutting-for-sign/support

Dr. Judy Mann, Senior Curator or European Art to 1800 for the St. Louis Art Museum, stopped by to talk to Nancy about the exhibition, Paintings on Stone: Science and the Sacred 1530–1800. About the Exhibition: In 2000 the Saint Louis Art Museum purchased Cavaliere d'Arpino's Perseus Rescuing Andromeda, an exceptional painting on lapis lazuli. The acquisition of the small, stunning work of art spurred extensive research that culminates in Paintings on Stone: Science and the Sacred 1530–1800, the first systematic examination of the pan-European practice of this unusual and little-studied artistic tradition. ——— By 1530 Italian artists had begun to paint portraits and sacred images on stone. At first artists used slate and marble. By the last decades of the 16th century, the repertoire expanded, eventually including alabaster, lapis lazuli, onyx, jasper, agate, and amethyst. In addition to demonstrating the beauty of these works, Paintings on Stone explains why artists began using stone supports and the role that stone played in the meaning of these endeavors. ——— Bringing together more than 70 examples by 58 artists, Paintings on Stone represents major centers of stone painting and features 21 different stones. ——— Judith W. Mann, the senior curator of European art to 1800. Since joining the museum in 1988, she has reinstalled the collections of Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and 18th-century European painting and sculpture three times, and organized two major international exhibitions. In 2022, the museum will organize a major, international exhibition curated by Mann that examines the art of painting on stone, a practice that flourished in Europe—particularly Italy—in the 16th and 17th centuries. In 2015, the Association of Art Museum Curators and the American Academy in Rome awarded Mann the Samuel H. Kress Foundation AAMC Affiliated Fellowship in order to allow her to continue her research into painting on stone in Rome.——- Mann curated “Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi: Father and Daughter Painters in Baroque Italy,” which opened at Rome's Palazzo Venezia and later was seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Saint Louis Art Museum, as well as the 2012 exhibition “Federico Barocci: Renaissance Master,” which was presented at the Saint Louis Art Museum and the National Gallery, London. In recognition for her scholarship relating to the Barocci exhibition and catalogue, Mann received the Association of Art Museum Curators' Outstanding Monographic Exhibition Award. She holds a graduate degree and doctorate from Washington University. ———

Harriet Goodhue Hosmer, who is considered the modern world's first professional female sculptor has work on display in museums and collections around the world. She was a rule breaker with a blunt personality, but very talented and bold. Her Lafayette Park statue, "The Benton Bronze," was the first public monument in the country given to a female artist – it is also the first monument west of the Mississippi with a public figure as its subject. Just press play to hear the whole story. ------ Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Amanda Clark, Arts, Entertainment, and Culture, Parks, Women's History, ------  Podcast Transcript: I'm Amanda Clark, manager of the See STL Tours program at the Missouri History Museum, and Here's History, on eighty-eight one, KDHX. ——— The centerpiece of St. Louis' historic Lafayette Park isn't a statue dedicated to the heroic French war general, but it is a gleaming bronze statue of Thomas Hart Benton, a well-known politician from the early 19th century. The statue's place in history goes beyond its subject or its location, but to the trailblazing artist who created it. Known as the “The Benton Bronze,” it was by designed by Harriet Goodhue Hosmer, who is considered the modern world's first professional female sculptor. Her work is on display in museums and collections around the world, and her Benton statue commission was the first public monument in the country given to a female artist – it is also the first monument west of the Mississippi with a public figure as its subject. ——— Harriet was raised by her father, a widower, in Massachusett's high society. From an early age, though, it was clear Harriet was a rulebreaker, she was known for her masculine clothing and blunt personality. She boldly traveled the American West and explored the Mississippi River without a chaperone, even winning a footrace up a high bluff in Iowa against a group of young men. This bluff still bears her name. ——— As part of her self-propelled art education, she came to St. Louis to study anatomy at the St. Louis Medical College, a pioneering school that required students to learn anatomy from cadavers. Harriet then went on to join a colony of American artists, including several women, living in Rome. Here, she established herself as a premier sculptor, and her subjects often depicted mythological figures and themes. She was drawn to female characters whose stories connected to her own strongly held beliefs in the fight for women's dignity and strength. ——— There are other places to find Harriet's work in St. Louis. Her sculpture, Zenobia in Chains ( from 1859), can be found at the St. Louis Art Museum. The large marble sculpture depicts a warrior queen captured by enemies and put on display for ridicule in her jewels and finery – but thanks to Hosmer's hand – Zenobia is full of strength and resolve. The St. Louis Mercantile Library houses one of her most well-known sculptures, depicting the Italian noblewoman, Beatrice Cenci. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri History Museum and KDHX. I'm Amanda Clark and this is 88.1 KDHX St. Louis. ———

We have come to know Forest Park as many things, including home to our cultural treasures such as The St. Louis Zoo, The The St. Louis Art Museum, and The Missouri History Museum. But in its early stages the key word in Forest Park was “Forest,” as it took many decades to become what we know today. Just press play to hear the whole story. ——— Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Adam Kloppe, Forest Park, Rural, Parks, Pastimes and Leisure, 1904 World's Fair, ------   Podcast Transcript: I'm Adam Kloppe, public historian with the Missouri Historical Society, and Here's History on eighty-eight one, KDHX.——— Today, Forest Park is seen as one of the jewels of St. Louis. This 1,300 acre park is home to many of the city's cultural institutions, like the Art Museum and the Zoo. It's home to the Muny, where thousands of St. Louisans gather every summer to take in musicals in the open air. It's home to bike paths and walking trails for exercise. When it snows, many St. Louisans make the journey to Art Hill to go sledding. In other words, Forest Park is a place where St. Louisans have created memories to last a lifetime. It feels like a key part of our city, a place that has always been there, and always will be. ——— But Forest Park was not always this way. When Forest Park first opened in 1876, it was mostly what its name implies—a forest. Trees covered a good portion of the land, and the River Des Peres wound its way through the park, occasionally flooding the western portions of the grounds. As the years rolled on, the city added 19 miles of roads to the park as well as other amenities. ——— Though the park wasn't yet home to the city's cultural institutions, it was a very popular place for city dwellers who wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown. In 1885, city streetcar lines were extended to Forest Park. By the late 1890s, over 2.5 million people a year were taking streetcars from the densely populated downtown out to forest park to enjoy hiking the trails, picnicking in the forest, and boating and fishing in Post-Dispatch Lake. ——— The biggest change to Forest Park occurred in the early twentieth century, when it was selected as the site of the 1904 World's Fair, beating out other proposed sites, including ones around Carondalet Park and Creve Coeur Lake. As part of the planning for the Fair, broad swaths of the forest were cut down and parts of the River Des Peres were channeled and moved underground to make way for the palaces of the Fair, though those buildings were mostly planned to be temporary structures. One palace was supposed to be permanent—the Palace of Art. Today, that building is home to the St. Louis Art Museum. In the years after the fair, other cultural institutions also moved to the improved grounds of Forest Park, making the park into the place we know it as today. ——— Here's History is a joint production of KDHX and the Missouri Historical Society. I'm Adam Kloppe, and this is eighty-eight one, KDHX, St. Louis. ———

Renée Franklin, Chief Diversity Officer for the St. Louis Art Museum, stopped by to speak with Nancy about her role at the Museum, and the Romare Bearden Graduate Museum Fellowship, among other topics.

Shaka Myrick and Delyn Stephenson, Romare Bearden fellows at the Saint Louis Art Museum, stopped by to talk with Nancy about their fellowships and the work they are doing at the museum. ABOUT THE ROMARE BEARDEN GRADUATE MUSEUM FELLOWSHIP: The Romare Bearden Graduate Museum Fellowship is a critical component in the museum's long-established commitment to increase diversity among its professional staff. Past fellows have gone on to hold key positions at the Saint Louis Art Museum, as well as at other noteworthy museums and universities, including the Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art and University of Texas at Austin. Named for African-American artist Romare Bearden, the paid fellowship is designed to prepare graduate students of color seeking careers as art historians and museum professionals. Fellows gain valuable hands-on experience working throughout the Art Museum on specific assignments tailored to their background and interests. Since the program's inception in 1992, Bearden Fellows have spent their year teaching, researching works in the collection, developing programming, writing gallery materials and assisting curators with the development of exhibitions. This year's expansion of the fellowship is funded in part by the Romare Bearden Fellowship Endowment, which was created with a $100,000 gift from the Frost family. About SHAKA MYRICK Shaka Myrick (2021-2023) earned a bachelor's degree in painting at the University of Missouri in Columbia and spent the next decade working and interning at the NYCH Art Gallery in Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. She earned a master's degree in art history from the University of Missouri–Kansas City, where she concentrated on West African culture and presence in Brazil. Last year, Myrick curated Real Black, the first exhibition featuring all Black artists at the UMKC Gallery of Art. About DELYN STEPHENSON Delyn Stephenson (2021-2022) earned a bachelor's degree in art history and archaeology at the University of Missouri in Columbia and a master's degree in history through the Museums, Public History, and Heritage program at the University of Missouri–St. Louis. While at UMSL, Stephenson worked with the Griot Museum of Black History to create the exhibition Still We Thrive: The Neighborhoods of Fountain Park, Lewis Place, and The Ville. She also completed an internship with the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and worked at the National Blues Museum in St. Louis.

Hannah Klemm, the associate curator of modern and contemporary art, curates the museum's “Currents” and “New Media Series” exhibitions. Klemm previously was the Fisher Collection Graduate Curatorial Fellow at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where she has worked on the contemporary German art collection. She holds a doctorate from the University of Chicago, a master's degree in art history from the Courtauld Institute of Art and a bachelor's degree in art history with honors from Sarah Lawrence College. Klemm has received several fellowships and awards, including a 10-month research fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service at Humboldt University in Berlin. About Currents 120: Jess T. Dugan -  Through February 20, 2022 St. Louis–based artist Jess T. Dugan is known for their color photographs that explore the power of identity, desire, and connection. In Currents 120: Jess T. Dugan, the museum presents a selection of 20 recent works—portraits, self-portraits, and still lifes—many of which were created specifically for this exhibition. Within a framework of queer and nonbinary experience and from an actively constructed sense of masculinity, Dugan's portraits examine intersections between individual identity and the search for intimate connection with others. About Art Along the Rivers: Through January 9, 2022 The exhibition includes a surprising range of objects that vary widely in medium, function, and the prominence of their makers. For example, it brings together Mississippian sculpture, Osage textiles, architectural drawings for iconic landmarks, musical instruments, German and Creole furniture, African American decorative arts, prize-winning paintings from the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, and contemporary artists' responses to these historic objects. While at first these works might appear to have few connections, the exhibition arranges them by theme rather than by culture or chronology to establish dialogues around the region's geography, raw materials, and pressing social issues. About Oliver Lee Jackson: Through February 20, 2022 Oliver Lee Jackson is known for creating complex and layered images in which figurative elements—or what he calls “paint people”—emerge from abstract fields of vibrant color. Jackson's practice is informed by a deep understanding of global art history—from early modern European painting to African art. Yet his works do not aim to elevate a single message, narrative, or meaning. Rather, the works serve as an open invitation to slow and close looking, encouraging viewers to stake emotional claim on the paintings and not wait for instructions on what to see.

Wolfe received undergraduate degrees from Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., and a master's degree and doctorate in the history of art at The Ohio State University, where she also served as adjunct professor. In conjunction with the 200th anniversary of Missouri's statehood, Art Along the Rivers: A Bicentennial Celebration explores the remarkable artwork produced and collected over 1,000 years in the region surrounding St. Louis. The exhibition presents more than 150 objects from Missouri as far north as Hannibal, west to Hermann, and south through the Old Mines area. It also encompasses the Illinois region along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, from Cairo north through Carbondale and Alton. Although the region that has shaped the exhibition's objects is small, it has played an outsize role in the history of North America due to the confluence of powerful rivers and major trails and routes within its borders. Art Along the Rivers includes a surprising range of objects that vary widely in medium, function, and the prominence of their makers. For example, it brings together Mississippian sculpture, Osage textiles, architectural drawings for iconic landmarks, musical instruments, German and Creole furniture, African American decorative arts, prize-winning paintings from the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, and contemporary artists' responses to these historic objects. While at first these works might appear to have few connections, the exhibition arranges them by theme rather than by culture or chronology to establish dialogues around the region's geography, raw materials, and pressing social issues. The exhibition is curated by Melissa Wolfe, curator of American art, and Amy Torbert, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Assistant Curator of American Art. Joe Jones 1909-1963 We Demand, 1934 Oil on Canvas 48x36 Attributed to Anna Jane Parker, American, c.1841–1918; “Quilt Top, Pieced Log Cabin”, 1875-1900   Podcast Curator and Editor: Jon Valley with Technical Support by Mid Coast Media

St. Louis Art Museum's new show features art inspired by, and made within, the region where the three most powerful rivers in the U.S. come together. The curators explain the road trips and rare finds that brought the exhibit together.

I consider myself lucky - I'm lucky because I have the pleasure of working with Aunia Kahn. She has been given a very special gift of creating the most spectacular art. She also has a gift of giving ideas life - in art - by designing websites (ahem, like mine). When I met her we spent an hour talking about books. We barely even talked about design.
