Featured Artist welcomes back Melanie Heard from C.R.O.W. to talk about Holly Jolly Follies and a special new show slated for April. A very candid and open conversation about support for the Children's Repertory Oregon Workshop.

Featured Artist with Melanie Heard

Stu Henderson, a pillar in the Florence, Oregon community, is displaying his art at Austentatious Gallery in Highway 101. But well beyond that, Stuart is being recognized as a leader of social justice and how some of his art, as well as his involvement in the founding of KXCR and his contributions to the City have made him a pillar of the community. The show, recorded mostly at the Gallery opening, gives those in attendance the opportunity to share their thoughts about Stu. With Stu in attendance, all the Henderson's there to honor him.

Killer whales, honey bees, walking dunes and hugging trees? Those are just a few of the delights awaiting those who get beyond their front doors, both literal and figurative.

Dina Pavlis has lived and played on the Oregon Coast for over 20 years. She is an avid hiker, outdoor enthusiast, nature photographer and volunteer interpretive ranger with the US forest Service. She also produces and hosts Beyond Your Front Door Northwest, a coastal adventure radio show that airs weekly in the Pacific Northwest.

I live on the other side of the continent but she has piqued my curiosity big time for a part of the country I had known little about. 

A lovely celebration of curiosity not just in work and life, but out and about!

CHOOSE TO BE CURIOUS

Ilya Monosov invites us to rethink our understanding of the brain -- and to wrestle with the implications of how we define "curiosity".

Ilya studies neuronal circuits of motivation, emotion, and learning at the Department of Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. But this conversation about how one neuroscientist explores the world -- and why --  is much more nuanced and thoughtful than his position description suggests. 

I didn't anticipate our conversation would take us to the importance of neuroscience and information seeking for the fate of humanity, or to how achieving an "engineer's understanding" of the brain could be helpful for those living with mental health challenges like OCD.
