Jennifer Trainer is an award-winning journalist and author of 19 books that have been translated into ten languages. She wrote the first story about Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art for The New York Times and was one of a handful of co-founders of the museum. She is currently Director of Hancock Shaker Village in Hancock, Massachusetts.
Jennifer’s, captivating new documentary MUSEUM TOWN traces the remarkable story of how a small rural Massachusetts town went from economic collapse to art mecca.
In 2017, MASS MoCA became the largest museum for contemporary art in the world—but just three decades before, its vast brick buildings were the abandoned relics of a massive shuttered factory.
MUSEUM TOWN captures the meeting of small-town USA and the global art world.
In this episode, Jennifer takes us into her remarkable adventure as champion, steward and guardian of Museum Town. Her story like any great artwork is soulful, thought-provoking and unforgettable.
