EPISODE SUMMARY
My guest today was hired straight out of graduate school as Executive Director of the Association of Community Arts Councils of Kansas and was lucky enough to work with rural arts councils throughout the state. She saw first-hand how groups of (mostly) women encouraged culture on the Plains. From there, she went on to work for the National Endowment for the Arts as Regional Representative, eventually serving a territory that stretched over the Dateline, over the Equator, and over the Arctic Circle. To the Stars through Difficulties is her first novel. Welcome to Authors Over 50, Romalyn Tilghman.
