Art Week Des Moines

Today we are joined by Rachel Buse, a local artist and one of several organizers behind Art Week Des Moines. The event has shifted to become hybrid, with some things brought online and others viewable from a safe distance. What went into that decision? And what are events both art lovers and casual art fans need to check out? We go over all of it in this discussion.

Table 128

Table 128

Today we are joined by Lynn and Sarah Pritchard with Table 128, the Clive restaurant that serves up fresh modern American cuisine. When the pandemic forced eateries to close their dine-in areas in March, Table 128 was one of the first places to pivot to a curbside model. They’ve continued it throughout the last two months and have learned plenty along the way. You can find out more about Table 128 at their Facebook page or website.

DSMTV Live

DSMTV Live

Today we are joined by Jerry Lorenson, a local musician and one of the people behind DSMTV Live, a Facebook page that live streams local artists and events. When the pandemic shut things down in March, musicians were out of work. Lorenson, along with Tony Bohnenkamp, Jon Locker and Brad Seidenfeld, put together this page rather quickly, hoping to give musicians a voice and provide some reprieve. Two months later, the brand has become bigger than they imagined.
