November 7, 2022Good morning. ☀️ Let's start the week right with a report that suggests art in the workplace improves employee well-being. You got that right. What do you have on your walls at work? Then there's the Heidi Klum worm costume, which I think hands down won Halloween this year. The supermodel's mind-numbingly wow outfit has even inspired memes, and we've gathered some of the best out there. And Lyndsay Knecht has put together a list of some of the newest up-and-coming art venues in Los Angeles that you might want to consider checking out if you make it to the City of Angels. Now, let's keep our fingers crossed about US Election Day this week. If you haven't voted early, there's one more chance, and we encourage everyone who can to please vote!

WHAT'S HAPPENING Heidi Klum’s worm costume was good, but the memes are better. An American Alliance of Museums (AAM) volunteer committee voted unanimously to resign from the organization’s Museum Studies Professional Network (MSN) after its chair was asked to sign a code of ethics that mandated “loyalty” and limited public criticism of AAM. A Yemeni researcher alleges that dozens of unlabeled artifacts originating from Yemen are slated for sale at a British auction house later this month, reflecting the Saudi-led trafficking of “blood antiquities” to international markets. A new research study found that for 69% of participants, having "interesting and visually striking art" at the workplace contributes to their well-being. The Art Show at Park Avenue Armory returned to a sparse audience. Virtually everyone remarked on how quiet the fair was, with some reveling in this fact and others casting it plainly as a failure.
