Wandering Educators

Jaume Plensa: Remote, Serene, Ethereal, co-presented by GRAY and Galerie Lelong, opened at GRAY New York on September 23. The exhibition features three elongated portraits in painted bronze surrounded by a suite of site-specific wall drawings by the artist.

No one plans for an accident to happen on a trip. When something goes wrong away from home, even ordinary decisions can feel harder. You’re in an unfamiliar place, your plans have suddenly changed, and you may be dealing with questions you’ve never had to consider before. Focus first on what needs attention now, take care of your health, and keep track of details that could matter later. A few sensible steps can make a stressful situation much easier to handle.

Jaume Plensa: Beyond Silence, which opened at GRAY Chicago on September 17, marks the artist’s tenth solo exhibition with the gallery. Bringing together monumental carved-wood reliefs, dramatically vertical sculptures in cast iron and granite, and intimate bronze works, Beyond Silence examines two long-standing central tenets of his practice—scale and material.

Skill development works best when employees can see what they need to learn, why it matters, and how progress will be assessed. Scattered documents, irregular workshops, and disconnected records make that process harder to manage. A central educational training system brings instruction, practice, feedback, and reporting into one coordinated process. Employees receive practical guidance, while managers gain a more accurate view of capability across each team.

A centuries-old tradition of weaving and shaping bamboo takes striking contemporary form in Twisted, Plaited, Sculpted: Collection of the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation, opening Nov. 7, 2026, and continuing through Oct. 17, 2027, at the Crow Museum of Asian Art’s Dallas Arts District location.

Travel is personal. Some travelers may prefer a peaceful holiday on the beach, while some may plan a family holiday or a tour with history and culture. So why is it that every person gets to view the same travel message? With AI, travel brands can now produce a more personalized ad campaign targeting various travelers. Brands can design ads that align with peoples' interests, trip itineraries, and needs, as opposed to sending a single message to all. How does this work, though?

A student might arrive at university with good grades, a proper visa, and months of anticipation, just to freeze when faced with the very first seminar question. It isn't due to not having actually checked out the required article, nor a lack of topical concepts. By the time they translate the question, formulate a reaction, check it, and summon the nerve to speak, the discussion has already advanced. That is the part of studying abroad that people rarely talk about.

Starting a business takes more than a good idea and the motivation to put it into action. Entrepreneurs also need a clear understanding of how money moves through a company, where it is being spent and whether the business is actually generating enough revenue to remain sustainable. Financial literacy gives business owners the knowledge needed to make those decisions with greater confidence. It does not require becoming an accountant or financial expert.

Booking travel online is super convenient, we all know that. But going through those big agencies often comes with hidden costs, not just for you, but for the property owners, too. Sure, aggregator websites let you see tons of options in one spot, but they also put a bit of a wall between you and where you're actually staying. That's where direct booking comes in. It's often a more rewarding and budget-friendly way to travel.

Late summer into early fall is a season all its own. Leaves begin to turn, but not quite yet, summer breezes begin to have an edge of colder times, but maybe not just yet. Then seasons turn, and autumn arrives. On Cape Breton Island, in the north of the province of Nova Scotia in Atlantic Canada, this change of seasons also means it's time for Celtic Colours. Celtic Colours International Festival celebrates the music stories, heritage, and welcome of this place.
