8. Amara Geffen: Are You Geffen Kidding Me?
Part 1 of 2: If you’re even remotely familiar with the Meadville area you’ve probably witnessed not just one or two, but multiple public art works of this local artist. Her private studio work is part of a permanent collection of the Met in New York but it is small town connection and conversation that drives this passionate maker to create both figurative and literal public art pathways. Today we host our first living legend episode featuring Amara Geffen. She makes Meadville her home while simultaneously making Meadville beautiful for all who spend time here.
