My wife and I live in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. We’ve been safe during the fires but, unfortunately, my stepson lost his house. Like many others, he lost everything. And at least 25 people have died. My stepson is ok. He’s lucky, if that can be said–he’s safe and has us and other family and friends nearby. You might be or know someone in need—there are a few organizations you can turn to or donate to in addition to helping out your own friends and family members.

It’s been a month. I mean, it’s been a month since the election, but also: It’s really been quite a month. The Trump administration is sure to be filled with privatizers, tax cutters, health and safety eliminators, and climate deniers. For ITPI, that means we need to reflect and think about what we can do to be most helpful and have the greatest impact. Our mission remains, but should our methods change? That’s where we need your help.

Zach Repphun’s first memory of encountering a work of art was on a field trip to Youngstown’s esteemed Butler Institute of American Art in the fourth grade. He was captivated by Madison Avenue at Speed, Peter Maier’s actual-size painting of Jeff Gordon’s #24 race car that is now part of that museum’s permanent collection. Years later, when Repphun was working at the Butler, he ended up working with Maier during the installation of the exhibition Peter Maier: Legends in 2018.
