Dear Readers,
It is a pleasure to present the following three articles for our March 2022 issue.
The story on the Memphis Library comes to us from
1014 - space for ideas and
The Urban Activist. The subject is so important that we asked if we could share their article. It shows how libraries in general, and the Memphis Library in particular, are important cultural organizations and serve as building blocks for their communities as places of learning, gathering and teaching.
Our second article on the pioneering photographer, Alice Austen, is written by Linda Cabasin, an experienced and engaged cultural affairs writer. The timing could not be better with the start of Women's History Month today. Austen was a social and professional game-changer who lived and worked on Staten Island and in New York City.
Paul Clemence's photographs of the non-profit organization, Grace Farms, in New Canaan are beautiful and insightful. The institution is at the vanguard of building community bringing together professionals from many different disciplines, including scientists and architects, to study and come up with solutions for difficult issues, involving climate, nature, building, art, architecture and justice in our local communities as well as in our global arena.

Thank you for reading!
