Marit Fischer & Rob Worstell of the MAC

This week's episode puts us in conversation with Marit Fischer and Rob Worstell. Marit is the chief marketing officer at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture; Rob is the organization's education director.Although most MAC conversations tend to focus on the exhibitions, what we talk about instead are the museum's educational and outreach initiatives. They include everything from a youth arts leadership program called Teens at the MAC to the new Curators of Sound concert series.That means there are plenty of dates for your calendar, including the annual ArtFest, which is coming up this weekend.We also get into why these programs matter, so if the word museum makes you think of a static repository of historic objects, you might find that perspective challenged.A heartfelt shout out to our founding sponsor, Rogue Heart Media SPC, for making these early episodes possible.
