Welcome back to The Spark, NPL's podcast about art and creativity.

Today, we're joined by Michael J. Ewing, an associate curator from the Frist Art Museum, to talk about his work on some of the Frist's newest shows and what goes into making a museum welcoming and engaging to all who enter. Specifically, the exhibitions "David C. Driskell & Friends: Creativity, Collaboration, and Friendship" and "Kindred Spirits: Intergenerational Forms of Expression, 1966–1999," both of which are on view until June 1, 2025.
