Mass MoCA.

From Boston’s new arts czar to Mass MoCA's expansion announcement, we learn about some of Massachusetts' long-term plans to support local arts and culture. We also look at the arts here in our state, and see if there’s anything we can learn from our neighbor to the north. 

GUESTS:

  • Joseph Thompson - Director of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art
  • Andrew Wolf - Director of the Department of Arts, Culture and Tourism in New Haven
  • Julie Burros - Chief of Arts and Culture in Boston
  • Fritz Jellinghaus - Chair of the Connecticut Arts Council; Vice President of Development at Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts of the University of New Haven

John Dankosky and Chion Wolf contributed to this show.
