This episode was put together quickly in order to publish before current charismatic spokesperson Mike Africa Jr. goes on WURD radio to talk about remains of MOVE children so this is my effort to put some questions out there for WURD to ask Mike.  I will write up better show notes tomorrow.  Going hit the hay so I can wake up at 5am my time to catch WURD in Philadelphia. Will post images etc. that go with episode tomorrow.

Hello everybody and welcome to ACCQ. Today we have an exciting show. We’re speaking with Holly M. Crawford, who is the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Director of Adult Public Programs, Education & Public Programs 

  — But you will quickly discover why I call Holly M. LACMAs Director of Fun, Joy and Creativity.

Today, we will discuss the projects Holly M. brings to the public at LACMA, in terms of education and programming, and connecting those programs to the diverse Los Angeles audience.

And later, we will discuss LACMAs exciting exhibition Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse, including several of the programs that the museum is offering in conjunction with the exhibition.

First, some details about our guest.

 In Their role at LACMA, Holly develops and implements programs that inspire joy and invite learners to expand their understanding of themselves and the world.
