Margo and Abby catch up on colorful collections, creative conferences, and curious cultural trends in the latest episode of Creative Current Events. This special segment of Windowsill Chats dives into all the artful oddities, thought-provoking news, and heartwarming discoveries that have recently caught their attention.

 

They touch on how color is used intentionally in media like the show Severance, the healing potential of museums (including Switzerland’s bold move to prescribe them for mental well-being), and the magic of virtual museum visits. They also explore current concerns around learning, attention, and AI search tools, all wrapped up in their signature blend of insight and humor.

 

As always, listener submissions help fuel the fun—so keep sending those articles their way!
