We’re big fans of "The Montclair Pod," and everything Farnoosh, Michael, and Ali are doing in our community. Like us, they’re passionate about helping people engage more deeply with Montclair—learning about the people, places, and stories that make it such a vibrant and inclusive place to live. 

While our shows may sound different, our goals often overlap, and this week’s episode is a great example of that. In this special preview, you’ll hear a range of conversations centered around the arts in Montclair. Known for its thriving creative scene, Montclair is home to actors, artists, musicians, poets, and performers.

You’ll hear from acclaimed visual artist Nanette Carter, whose work is currently on view here at The Montclair Art Museum. Tom Hall, Artistic Director of the Montclair Film Festival, shares what’s ahead for one of New Jersey’s top cultural events. Jazz legend and founder of Seed Artists, Pheeroan akLaff, reflects on the town’s musical legacy. And actress Kristen Connolly talks about growing up in Montclair and what it’s like to return as both a parent and working artist—plus much more.

You can find The Montclair Pod wherever you stream your podcasts. Enjoy the episode, and see you next week for our regularly scheduled program!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65469976Wed, 09 Apr 2025 13:33:17 +0000MAMmontclairThis episode of "Maybe, Actually, Museums are for me," is a little different. While Alex is busy prepping upcoming episodes, we thought we’d hand the mic over to our friends at "The Montclair Pod," and give you a taste of what their show is all about....
We’re big fans of "The Montclair Pod," and everything Farnoosh, Michael, and Ali are doing in our community. Like us, they’re passionate about helping people engage more deeply with Montclair—learning about the people, places, and stories that make it such a vibrant and inclusive place to live. 

While our shows may sound different, our goals often overlap, and this week’s episode is a great example of that. In this special preview, you’ll hear a range of conversations centered around the arts in Montclair. Known for its thriving creative scene, Montclair is home to actors, artists, musicians, poets, and performers.

You’ll hear from acclaimed visual artist Nanette Carter, whose work is currently on view here at The Montclair Art Museum. Tom Hall, Artistic Director of the Montclair Film Festival, shares what’s ahead for one of New Jersey’s top cultural events. Jazz legend and founder of Seed Artists, Pheeroan akLaff, reflects on the town’s musical legacy. And actress Kristen Connolly talks about growing up in Montclair and what it’s like to return as both a parent and working artist—plus much more.
