Parks and Libraries have a lot in common: they're both free, available to anyone, and encourage connection - to learning and exploring, to healthy recreation, and to engaging with others in your neighborhood or community.  Learn about this new connected service model on Madison's northeast side with CJ Ryan, Assistant Parks Superintendent, and Tana Elias, Madison Public Library Director.  After more than a decade of planning, the Imagination Center will open to the public on September 25 at 1818 Parkside Drive. Rotarian Joy Cardin will interview CJ and Tana on the Imagination Center.

For the first time in its history, the Chazen Museum of Art has undertaken a complete overhaul of all 24 of its permanent collection galleries simultaneously. While projects of this scale are not uncommon for art museums, the Chazen's approach to reimagining the display and interpretation of its collection is distinctly innovative. Amy Gilman, director, and Kate Wanberg, exhibitions and collections project manager, will discuss how the Chazen decided to move beyond traditional organizing frameworks such as chronology, geography, or theme and how the new design will encourage deeper engagement with the collection.
