The Spencer Museum of Art and Kansas Public Radio have produced the Spencer Art Minute, an ongoing series of 90-second programs that provides listeners with quick peeks into the Spencer Museum of Art's permanent collection. Each week's recording is played four times: Monday at 11:30 a.m., Wednesday at 2:30 p.m., Friday at approximately 6:30 p.m., and Sunday at 6:57 p.m.
Spencer Art Minute engages listeners in the Spencer's visual treasures by entertaining their ears with lively descriptions of objects, written by a diverse group of contributors and voiced by David Cateforis, professor in the Kress Foundation Department of Art History at the University of Kansas.
