If you've never been to the world-renowned Currier Museum of Art right here in the heart of Manchester, this episode will surely inspire you to visit! Corinne Benfield is the Director of Community Partnerships and Membership at the museum, and has been working to engage the community and spread the word that the museum is open to all.

Corinne began her career at the Currier, then worked for the Greater Manchester Chamber for a few years, but her passion for art and community led her back to the Currier Museum a few months ago. She says that finding a way to break down the barriers to art is her "guiding star," and in her short time in her role she has begun to do just that! Listen as Corinne takes us through a history of the museum, some of the events and programs they host, and highlights some interesting items in their collection. Be sure to check out Art After Work every Thursday from 5-8pm for live music in the Winter Garden Café and free admission to the galleries!
