Ken Schneck was suspended from Hebrew school once.

The reason? He wouldn't stop asking questions.

As an artist, educator and co-founder of , Pinsky has helped establish a nationally recognized center for weaving, dyeing, papermaking and experimental textile arts. The story of how it came to exist is rooted in not letting something valuable disappear.

In 2012, when the announced it was downsizing its fiber department, Pinsky saw an opportunity.

How do we take something deeply personal — a memory, a tradition, a feeling of home — and make it physical?

It's a question that has guided Kurtz as founder of J Kurtz Architects ,whose work has helped shape some of Northeast Ohio's leading cultural and educational institutions, including the Cleveland Institute of Art the of Contemporary Art Cleveland moCa, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Public Library.

Behind the camera was Pauline St. Denis, a New York City-based photographer whose work spans fashion, portrait and celebrity photography. As she transformed industrial hallways, concrete corridors and loading docks into temporary fashion sets, another story began to emerge.

Before Frida Mann (Fridaandthemann) ever stepped onto a stage, she imagined herself there.

The images would arrive unexpectedly —a version of herself singing, performing, fully seen. The visions made little sense at the time. Mann was a wife, mother and rebbetzin, living within the Orthodox Jewish world she had known since childhood. Music wasn’t part of the life she had built. Neither was performing.

Yet the image persisted.

“There was this different Frida who existed on stage,” she says. “I could never understand it.”
