When it’s “Art and China After 1989: Theater of the World” at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.

The world’s biggest companies invest huge sums of time and money in reputation management. And yet, when measured, art museums have demonstrably better reputations than even the most well-regarded businesses in the world.

As wildfire tears through Northern California, leveling homes and businesses and killing at least 17 people, art museums and organizations are among those scrambling to deal with the deadly blaze.

After experiencing the program first hand they inquired about the possibility of bringing the show to the Kennesaw State University community. Just one year later their inaugural NAP Exhibit has come to fruition!

Honolulu, Hawaii did not just host their ninth exhibition with the NAP this past August, they celebrated the largest show they’ve had since joining the program in 2005. This year’s exhibit, which was on display in the Honolulu Hale Courtyard, featured a record breaking 210 pieces of art from 129 different participants!

The NAP was pleased to welcome Richmond, Virginia back in 2017 for their fifteenth exhibition at Pine Camp and Community Arts Center. Under fresh leadership from new coordinators Ann-Marie Williams and Shaunn Casselle, this year’s program was a tremendous success! The exhibit featured close to 250 pieces of art from City of Richmond and Richmond Public School employees and their family members.

In late September, Cleveland City Council approved spending up to $200,000 to remove non-functioning pay phones from around the city. The next morning, Allison Lukacsy-Love was flooded with messages.

Since 2013, she's been operating Phone Gallery, a tiny pay phone box outside of Russ' Auto Care in Collinwood, 15302 Waterloo Rd., that she transformed into a place for local artists to show their work. It's been so well-received that she's planning to add a second gallery inside a pay phone in South Euclid's City Hall.
