Tuesday on Lake Effect: 'Janesville,' 'With the Wind at His Back,' 'Trans-lucent' Art Exhibition

Tuesday on Lake Effect:

With GM announcing new plant closures, we look back at how the closing of its Janesville factory affected that city. Then business leaders and philanthropists Donald and Donna Baumgartner talk about why they’re so supportive of the city’s arts organizations. Plus, how two organizations come together at UW-Milwaukee to organize an artistic exhibition spotlighting the transgender community.

Guests:

  • Amy Goldstein, author, Janesville: An American Story
  • Donald Baumgartner, former owner, Paper Machinery Corporation; Kurt Chandler, author, With the Wind at His Back
  • Rae Senarighi & Salem Turchan, artists; Madison Auten, UW-Milwaukee Union Art Gallery manager & curator
