#260: Jane Chu (Artist & Arts Administrator) (pt. 1 of 2)

Today we release part 1 of our interview with artist Jane Chu. Throughout her career she’s combined her academic research with professional practice in the arts, philanthropy, and business administration. From 2014 to 2018 Jane was the 11th chairperson of the National Endowment for the Arts. Prior to that, she was the founding president and CEO of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, and was charged with overseeing a $413 million campaign to construct and open the center.  

Currently Jane is a practicing visual artist based in New York City, and her drawings of 3D colored objects atop black and white background scenes allow viewers to embrace multiple perspectives simultaneously. We’ll link to her website in the show notes so you can read more about her and her involvement with projects such as The Objects of Immigrants to America, by illustrating and telling stories of individuals from all walks of life who have immigrated to the United States.
