Michael Clish, the host of “What’s up? with Michael Clish,” a YouTube-platform talk show produced by Fort Atkinson Online LLC, interviews Ann Engelman, president of the Friends of Lorine Neidecker nonprofit group. The full interview, during which Engleman explains the group’s history, purpose and mission, can be viewed by clicking the arrow below. The episode was originally released in December 2021.
Editor’s note, correction: Amy Lutzke, Assistant Director at the Dwight Foster Public Library, notes that the mural painted at the Fort Atkinson Middle School and seen behind Michael Clish and Friends of Lorine Niedecker President Ann Engelman was painted by Erika Koivunen of ACME Ironworks and painter Amy Zaremba, who worked to create a mural and recycled metal sculpture in the main hallway of the middle school. A reference to middle school mural painters made during the videotaped interview, presented above, is incorrect. Fort Atkinson Online regrets the error.
