b'We\\u2019re less than a month away from the 2022 AACR Philadelphia Marathon. During the weekend of November 19-20 there will be marathon, half marathon and 8k - which is what I\'m running. I pledged to raise a thousand dollars for the American Association for Cancer Research the oldest and largest cancer research foundation funding scientists making the big breakthroughs in cancer cures. I\'m happy to say over the course of two days I\'m there - just short 175 dollars away from my goal - so thank you! if you\'d like to contribute you can go to my Instagram @loraineballard. you can also contribute by going to www.aacr/org/runners for research.

I\\u2019m re-airing an interview with Mitch Stoller, Chief Philanthropic Officer and VP of Development at American Association for Cancer Research.

p.s. an update. I\\u2019ve exceeded by goal raising $1025.00!!

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.
