JAMA: Hi! I’m Jama Best, Awards Chair with the
Arkansas Museums Association Annual Conference
2014. Museums have always been very important to me and
many of my friends and family. There are some though
that don’t agree with me so much. So today we are going to set out
to show you just how important museums
truly are.
I’m here on the street hoping to catch someone to interview
Hmm. Guess I
should have picked a busier street.
Hmm.
Oh, there’s someone now! Ma’am!
RANDOM WOMAN AT BIRD HOUSE: Oh, good Lord.
Is it my time? Is it you?
JAMA: No, ma’am. It’s me.
RANDOM WOMAN AT BIRD HOUSE: Oh. You kinda startled me a bit.
That’s okay though. Hi! How are you?
JAMA: I wonder if I could ask you a question or two.
RANDOM WOMAN AT BIRD HOUSE: Sure. Jama: Do you know when Arkansas
became a state?
RANDOM WOMAN AT BIRD HOUSE: Long time ago. Long, long time ago.
I remember it though. Very vividly. I was just a
wee lass. I think I might have been maybe 4?
4 years old, yea. 4 years old. JAMA: Well what happened?
RANDOM WOMAN AT BIRD HOUSE: I remember it was a big
ta do! Lot of big old parade and
and um all kinds of folk up and down the
street. It was a big thing. JAMA: Thanks for your time.
RANDOM WOMAN AT BIRD HOUSE: Sure, sure.
Bye, now. Gotta go check on my birds. JAMA: Okay.
Bye.
JAMA: Excuse me, ma’am.
Can I have a few moments of your time? STRANGE ARTIST LADY: Sure.
JAMA: I assume you are a
lover of art based on the painting you are carrying.
Can you tell me when the Renaissance period was?
STRANGE ARTIST LADY:
I am a Renaissance woman.
I am self-taught and
I love art of all kinds. Art is everywhere
and I love it. It’s
it goes beyond time and space
and so why pinpoint a certain time period.
when there’s so much art everywhere
and it just goes beyond any
time. It’s timeless.
JAMA: So. In other words.
You have no idea.
JAMA: It’s time now for the Arkansas Museums Association Annual
Conference Awards Banquet. Excitement is in the air and
everyone is waiting to see who will be this year’s winners. So
follow me, if you can keep up, and let’s go see who they are
right now. See you there!
