## Resource

This week on "Maybe, Actually, Museums are for me.," Alex walks the audience through his conversation with renowned visual artist, Ben F. Jones. Although not intended for the podcast, the conversation they had was so informative and speical it felt right to find a way to share the full breath of Ben's wisdom and artistic philosophy in this long-form way. Ben F. Jones is an artist, activist, and educator, who uses his art to bring awareness to the plight of humanity throughout the world. A native of Paterson, NJ, Ben first became involved with the Montclair Art Museum (MAM) in the 1980s as a founding member of the African American Cultural Committee where his work has since been acquired and displayed as part of MAM's permanent collection of art. “I want to lift people up, give them a sense of empowerment and redemption.” -Ben Jones
