In this edition's The North Shore Weekend, read up on how @ionitbehar brings a global perspective to the @mcachicago in "The Art of Connection."
When she was growing up, museums were not occasional destinations—they were part of the rhythm of life. That sense of inevitability now comes full circle with Behar’s appointment as the Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA), one of the country’s most influential contemporary art institutions. The role places her at the center of the museum’s curatorial vision at a moment when Chicago’s cultural voice continues to resonate globally.

FARISSA KNOX, @farissaknox , president of the Joffrey Women's Board, is preparing to hit the dance floor for the Joffrey Celebration on May 30. This year's disco-glam-themed fundraiser marks a major milestone for the @joffreyballet —70 years of the company and 30 years of calling Chicago home, celebrated with a dazzling homage to disco's golden age.
Knox, a philanthropist, creative, and 17-year C-suite leader, joined the Joffrey Women's Board in the spring of 2019. In 2020, she became co-chair of Women's Board Crisis Stabilization and Membership Committees. She was elected to the Joffrey Board of Directors in 2021 and, in 2024, became president of the Women's Board. Knox's tenure has been defined by impact; most notably, as co-chair of the highest-grossing Women's Board Luncheon in the event's history, and the inaugural JoffreyNext fundraising event. All that's left is to cue the mirror ball and let the celebration stay alive well past last call.
