Published: Oct. 28, 2022, 5:09 p.m.

b'After my dad retired from 36 years in the army - he became the head of security for the National Gallery of Art in DC. During the summer of my teenage years, I would wander the galleries. My love of art started there. That\'s why I was especially interested in talking with the Pennsylvania Academy of the arts which has a new exhibit called Making American Artists. embracing stories about women artists, LGBTQIA+ artists, and artists of color. It also poses central questions about the artist\\u2019s experience: what did it mean to be an American artist when the nation was founded? How had that changed by the late-twentieth century? it got me googling the artists we talk about in this interview with Dr. Anna Marley Chief of Curatorial Affairs and the Kenneth R. Woodcock Curator of Historical American Art Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
