In the 1930s, the artist Abram Champanier painted Alice of Wonderland Visiting New York, a series of murals that displayed Alice in Wonderland characters throughout the city. The piece was commissioned by the Works Progress Administration, and the panels were displayed in the children's ward at the Gouverneur Hospital between 1938 and 1940. Now at the Museum of the City of New York, the mural panels are on view together for the first time in almost 50 years. Lilly Tuttle, senior curator of the Collection at Museum of the City of New York, discusses the legacy of this mural series and the exhibit 'Another Wonderland: Abram Champanier's Alice Mural,' on view through September 27.

When's the last time a Philadelphian showed you a random act of kindness? We're asking because the Philly Money Hunt Instagram account depicts someone hiding what appears to be  wads of cash in random places around the city and films those who find the money and those who are too late. Host Trenae Nuri, creative producer Abby Fritz and host of the Streets Dept. Podcast, Conrad Benner, talk about other ways strangers have been kind in the city. Plus, they chat about how the police department is planning to use artificial intelligence for 911 calls and whether our city murals should be preserved as historic landmarks.  Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.

On this episode of Right On Radio host Jeff — marking nearly six years on air — we walk listeners through a wide-ranging, prophetic analysis of current events and how they may fit into biblical end-times timelines. The show opens with a brief sponsor message about pet and human mushroom supplements and then launches into clips and commentary exploring the idea that global power centers are shifting toward Jerusalem as conditions line up with prophetic markers like the abomination of desolation and the arrival of the two witnesses. Jeff plays and dissects a short clip from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen about missing children and the fallout from mass migration, then reviews footage of chaotic border breaches in Spain to illustrate how porous borders and large-scale migration are reshaping societies. He ties these developments to broader concerns about cultural displacement and organized efforts that, in his view, are engineered to undermine national sovereignty. The episode includes two notable White House clips: a Donald Trump statement about the United States taking responsibility for the Gaza Strip and First Lady Melania Trump presiding at a UN Security Council session. Jeff analyzes Melania's language — “knowledge and understanding,” “technology without borders,” and “building an infrastructure of understanding” — and conducts a visual decode of the Security Council mural, highlighting imagery he associates with alchemy, a phoenix rising, a sword through a beast and serpent, and symbolic references to an emerging global order. Jeff also examines recent moves by global figures and groups: King Charles' shift to a multi-faith posture and outreach to mosques; the announcement of a first international Noahide congress in Jerusalem; and a Sanhedrin petition reported to seek a renewed Mashiach and the rebuilding of the temple. He explains the significance of Noahide laws and how some advocates view them as laying groundwork for new legal and religious norms in Jerusalem and beyond. Additional segments include a short dystopian film narration about civil conflict and a clip titled “The Invasion” that outlines a three-step pattern — immigrate, increase, eliminate — used to describe community takeover through demographic and political change. Throughout, Jeff warns listeners about a potential move toward a centralized, one-world religion and governance structure, and he references groups like the Temple Institute and other organizations preparing for a rebuilt temple. The episode closes with Jeff's pastoral appeal to listeners to remain rooted in Scripture, to love God and neighbor, and with a call to support the show through donations and links. Expect a dense, opinionated episode combining media clips, symbolic decoding, prophetic interpretation, and urgent cultural commentary aimed at listeners who follow biblical prophecy and geopolitical developments closely.

Every one of us carries a deeper story beneath the surface—one that words often fail to express. In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, Lucas sits down with longtime friend and visionary artist Sophia Noemi for an intimate conversation about creativity, healing, identity, and the mysterious ways our souls communicate through dreams, symbols, and imagination. Sophia shares how she discovered her extraordinary gift of translating subconscious imagery into powerful works of art, including the story behind the painting she created from one of Lucas's recurring visions of a wolf. Together they explore why creativity is far more than self-expression—it can become a pathway to healing, transformation, and remembering who we truly are. The conversation also dives into Sophia's remarkable professional journey, from teaching paint-and-sip classes to creating large-scale historical murals, while navigating grief, personal loss, and seasons of creative uncertainty. Through it all, she reveals how journaling, protecting her energy, and staying aligned with her calling helped her reclaim both her identity and her purpose. If you've ever felt disconnected from your creativity, struggled through difficult seasons, or sensed there was something deeper trying to emerge from within you, this conversation will inspire you to trust the process and create from the truth of who you are. In this episode: How dreams and subconscious imagery can guide our lives The story behind Lucas's wolf vision and Sophia's painting Creativity as a tool for healing trauma Recovering your identity after loss and hardship Why artists must protect their energy and light Moving from small beginnings to large opportunities Journaling as a spiritual and creative practice Following your calling even when the path isn't clear If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a reminder that creativity isn't just about making art—it's about becoming who you were created to be.

What if art could do more than hang on a wall — what if it could bring an entire community back to life?In this joyful and quietly extraordinary episode of The True You Podcast, host Paula Burns sits down with Rose Hill — international artist, founder of the multi-award-winning Co-Creative Connection, and one of the most fascinating women to grace this podcast — for a conversation about art, belonging, purpose, and what it means to build something truly meaningful with your life's work.Rose's career reads like a who's who of the art world. Commissions from Charles Saatchi, Sadie Frost, and Robert Webb. Collaborations with Harrods, the British Museum, and ZSL London Zoo. Teaching at the V&A and the British Library. By any measure, she has reached the very top of her field.And yet the work she describes with the most passion is painting murals with communities.Through Co-Creative Connection — her socially engaged public art practice — Rose brings schools, housing developments, train stations, and public spaces to life through large-scale, joyful murals that are designed by the community, for the community. Every artwork begins not with Rose's vision, but with the people who will live alongside it — ensuring that each mural becomes a genuine expression of collective identity, pride, and belonging.In this episode, we explore:— What socially engaged public art is and why it matters more than ever in a world where communities are increasingly disconnected— How Rose built a career that bridges the elite art world and the local community — and why she believes the two are far less separate than people think— The story behind Co-Creative Connection — how it began, how it works, and what a co-created community mural project actually looks like — How her collaborations with Harrods, the British Museum, ZSL London Zoo and private collectors like Charles Saatchi shaped her understanding of art's power to transform spaces and people— What it means to lead large-scale public art projects across schools, housing estates, and stations — and the profound impact these spaces have on the people who inhabit them— Rose's journey as a woman building a purposeful, award-winning creative career entirely on her own terms — and what that has taught her about following your vision even when the path is unconventionalThis episode is for the woman who has ever wondered whether her work can be both commercially successful and genuinely meaningful.

Tags, Graffitis, Murals – coole Schriftzüge, bunte Wandgemälde: früher waren sie als Sachbeschädigung und Schmierereien auf S-Bahnwagen oder an Brücken verschrien – heute sind sie zur Kunst geworden, zur "Street Art". Der Grafitti-Künstler Milo hat diese Entwicklung miterlebt. Seit 25 Jahren ist er aktiv, hat im Raum Ulm zahlreiche Bilder gesprayt. Jetzt gibt er Workshops an Schulen.

Jordan Stranger got started by wheat pasting his art around Winnipeg because it was cheap, fast, and harmless. First came community, then came the city: people began to recognize his work, which led to new opportunities and contracts that displayed his art in a more permanent way. But is public art ever permanent? Today on The Artalogue,  Madison Beale talks with Anishinaabe artist and graphic designer Jordan Stranger (@totemdoodem), originally from Peguis First Nation, about how those early street-level moves grew into iconic Winnipeg murals, major graphic design projects, and public art that people now instantly connect with places like The Forks.We dig into early steps like drawing as a kid, unlocking new confidence through illustration and great teachers at Red River College, and learning how mentors can change the trajectory of an artist's life. Jordan shares how community support helped him take the leap into self-employment, plus what it really looks like when “full-time artist” becomes "full-time everything", with administration taking up lots of an artist's valuable time.Stranger explains how Ojibwe teachings and spiritual practice guide his choices, why he wants his art to encourage reflection as well as connection, and how public art can challenge the way people think about Canada's history, truth, and reconciliation. Jordan closes with hard-earned advice on vulnerability, honesty, and the business side of creativity, with his major takeaway being learning your worth as an artist.  Connect with the Artalogue: Madison Beale, HostBe a guest on The Artalogue Podcast

Neither of us is actually in Old Town today — but as Brady put it, we're there in spirit. On this Friends of Old Town edition of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael catches up with Brady Cloven (Executive Director, Friends of Old Town Winchester) via Zoom while he's at a tourism conference in Pennsylvania, pitching bus tours on coming to Winchester. The conversation is released just minutes before Brady cuts the ribbon on the South End Literacy Mural at the splash pad — the year-long project with United Way, the John and Janice Wyatt Foundation, and the Winchester Campaign for Grade-Level Reading that's already doing what it was designed to do (drawing kids and parents to a previously quiet end of the walking mall). Brady walks through Friends of Old Town's recent three-award sweep from Virginia Main Street — including milestone recognition for crossing 40,000 volunteer hours (about $1 million in volunteered time) and 10,000+ building projects across 40 years — plus the upcoming Friends of Old Town public art initiative at Taylor Pavilion (37 artist applications, narrowed to a top six). Then it's a full preview of the July 4th VA250 Downtown Jubilee — 12-to-10 PM with Made in Virginia vendors, two live music acts at Taylor Pavilion, the reading of the Declaration of Independence, a Cheerwine relay chug, a Snow White slider eating contest, and a laser-light show to close out the night. Plus details on the August 22 Dog Days of Summer Hot Dog Crawl, a teaser for the Monty Python pub crawl on July 17, and a friendly reminder that the parrot in the mural is wearing a pirate hat for a reason — though Janet is more than willing to take credit on Brady's behalf.

This week on the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm talking about something that can be tough for artists to navigate… what happens when a mural gets painted over.It's a situation that brings up a lot of emotion, especially when a piece is loved by the community or holds personal meaning. I've experienced it myself, and recently my city went through a similar situation, with guest artist Austin Sepulveda, that sparked a lot of conversation. I interviewed Austin to chat about his painting techniques and what it was like being the artist commissioned to paint over a much loved mural.The biggest takeaway from this episode is that painting is a business, and art replaced by more art is just part of it. Murals fade, building ownership changes, and new murals are painted. Finding a way to not take it so personally, or just replicate it, is the key to solving these tricky situations.

The Perfect Church will be released by Christian Focus Publications at the end of this year. 

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 15: Ein Hubschrauber schwebt über dem Park, Scotty taucht halb aus dem Nichts auf, Gillian Taylor rennt gegen ein getarntes Raumschiff – und schreit sich anschließend einfach durch den Beamvorgang hindurch. Alles völlig normal. Klar. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die berühmte Parkszene aus Star Trek IV und darüber, wie sie 1986 wahrscheinlich gedreht wurde: also nicht mit heutiger Komfort-CGI, sondern sehr wahrscheinlich mit klassischer optischer Tricktechnik, Bluescreen, Matte-Arbeit und ILM-Zauberei aus der photochemischen Ära. Wir schauen dazu auf ein spannendes Interview mit Kameramann Don Peterman bei der American Society of Cinematographers. Außerdem: – Warum Gillians durchgehender Schrei beim Beamen physikalisch erstaunlich plausibel ist – Warum Beamen trotzdem energetisch kompletter Irrsinn bleibt – Was Metin Tolan dazu sagt – Warum Kirk Gillian „Alice“ nennt – Welche Rolle Alice im Wunderland sonst noch in Star Trek spielt – Warum die Aussage, die Wale seien schon in Alaska, zoologisch eher unter Fantasy fällt – Und was es mit dem Mission District in San Francisco wirklich auf sich hat Mit anderen Worten: Wir reden über Filmtricks, Physik, Lewis Carroll, Buckelwale, Kolonialgeschichte, Murals und ein Krankenhausproblem namens Chekov. Also über genau die Dinge, die man von einem entspannten Star-Trek-Abend erwartet. #StarTrek #StarTrekIV #TheVoyageHome #DiscoveryPanel #Kirk #Spock #Scotty #GillianTaylor #Chekov #Sulu #Uhura #ILM #DonPeterman #Beamen #Transporter #Buckelwale #MissionDistrict #SanFrancisco #StarTrekPodcast

Fresno Unified trustees adopted a resolution this week aimed at addressing on-campus homages to Cesar Chavez, and the school district has begun to cover murals on school campuses honoring the late labor leader. Fresno Unified spokesperson Adela Garcia Duncan confirmed the district has begun the process of amending existing murals of Chavez after the emergence of sexual abuse allegations against the late labor icon. A lone hacker used Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT to breach nine Mexican government agencies, stealing roughly 150 GB of data—about 195 million citizen records. Claude automated around 75% of remote commands, while ChatGPT handled data processing across 305 servers, allowing one person to act like a full cyber‑team. The breach exposes how publicly accessible AI can be weaponized for large‑scale hacking and signals major new threats to cybersecurity.

Could you investigate it with me?" Reiko earnestly asked.Ja: ヒロシは一瞬迷いましたが、ついに決心を固めました。En: Hiroshi hesitated for a moment but finally made up his mind.Ja: 「いいですよ。ちょうど嵐の予報が出ています。今がチャンスです。」En: "Alright. There's a forecast for a storm. Now's our chance."Ja: 薄暗くなり始めた竹林の中、二人は地図を見ながら進み始めました。En: As the bamboo grove began to darken, the two of them started to proceed, map in hand.Ja: 神秘的な記号を解読するのは難しく、時間が押し迫ります。En: It was difficult to decipher the mysterious symbols, and time was running short.Ja: やがて、風が強まり、竹が歌うように音を立て始めました。En: Eventually, the wind picked up, and the bamboo began to make sounds as if singing.Ja: 玲子の心臓は高鳴ります。En: Reiko's heart raced.Ja: そして、ついに見つけたのです。隠れた小道への手がかりを！En: And then, they found it—the clue to the hidden path!Ja: ヒロシの観察力と玲子の決意が一つになりました。En: Hiroshi's observational skills and Reiko's determination became one.Ja: 二人は迫り来る嵐に負けじと急いで進みます。En: The two hurried forward, undeterred by the approaching storm.Ja: 小道の終わりに、花々に囲まれた古い祭壇が立ち、その背後に壁画がありました。En: At the end of the path stood an old altar surrounded by flowers, and behind it was the mural.Ja: 壁画は、自然との調和を描いた美しい物語を語っていました。En: The mural conveyed a beautiful story of harmony with nature.Ja: 見つけた喜びが心にあふれます。En: The joy of discovery overflowed in her heart.Ja: 玲子は、協力と信頼の大切さを学びました。En: Reiko learned the importance of cooperation and trust.Ja: その後、この発見は予想以上に注目を集め、ヒロシもまた、自分の知識が多くの人々に役立つことを確信しました。En: Afterwards, this discovery gained more attention than expected, and Hiroshi became convinced that his knowledge could be beneficial to many people.Ja: 春の風が落ち着いたころ、玲子とヒロシは竹林を後にしました。En: As the spring wind calmed down, Reiko and Hiroshi left the bamboo grove.Ja: 心に新しい絆と考えが芽生え、彼らは晴れやかな気持ちで別れを告げました。En: With new bonds and thoughts budding in their hearts, they parted ways with a bright feeling.Ja: 桜の花びらが舞い、一つの物語が新しい形で再び動き出しました。En: Cherry blossom petals danced, and one story began anew in a fresh form.

Fresno Unified spokesperson Adela Garcia Duncan confirmed the district has begun the process of amending existing murals of Chavez after the emergence of sexual abuse allegations against the late labor icon. A lone hacker used Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT to breach nine Mexican government agencies, stealing roughly 150 GB of data—about 195 million citizen records. Claude automated around 75% of remote commands, while ChatGPT handled data processing across 305 servers, allowing one person to act like a full cyber‑team. The breach exposes how publicly accessible AI can be weaponized for large‑scale hacking and signals major new threats to cybersecurity.

Rodger Deevers knows he’s a lucky man. He’s a financial advisor in Eugene with all his basic needs met — and then some. But in 2023, after he and his wife took a vacation to the island of Curaçao off the Venezuelan coast, he wanted to bring some of the sense of community and vibrant public art back to the Eugene-Springfield area — and contribute to area nonprofits.  He says he didn’t know quite how to begin, so he just started with an idea for one mural, at nonprofit NextStep Recycling, and decided to see if people were interested in helping him paint it. Dozens of people showed up — and the nonprofit was thrilled to have a mural on a space that would otherwise have remained unadorned. Deevers calls the project Lucky Enough Social Club, and now has a system of sorts, and volunteers who show up to paint. But he does most of the legwork, outreach and designing of the mural, in collaboration with whatever nonprofit is getting painted. He says he’s seen the transformative power of creativity in the people who show up to volunteer, and calling attention to mental health and suicide prevention is one of the biggest motivations driving him. We first spoke with Deevers in July 2025 about the creation of the club and how he hopes to see it grow in the future.
