Rebecca West: Executive Director & CEO, Buffalo Bill Center of the West - Epi 413, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Rebecca West on the podcast today and she is the Executive Director and CEO of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. She's just such a lovely person.I really enjoyed speaking to her and learning about how she became the Director. the story is really quite amazing because she's been at the museum for like 34 years. She started there doing an internship, working on the catalog raisonné of western art icon Frederic Remington. She worked her way through the organization for something like 11 years as a curator, and then continued until she became the Executive Director / CEO in 2021.We talked about the current show that's going on called "Buffalo Nation" which is a very large, expansive show that is definitely worth seeing. You can hear Rebecca describe all of the components of it and hear how excited an exhibit like this gets the two of us. The exhibit will be up through January of 2028 so you'll have plenty of time to visit it if you're interested.So, I love it when I get to talk to an organizational figurehead in the art world that really loves their job and knows their stuff. She's been at that museum for 34 years, so I think it's fair to assume that she loves that job.Learn more about the Buffalo Bill Center of the West here:https://centerofthewest.org/
