About Ms. Cosmopolite

Ms. Cosmopolite is a blog offering a feminine perspective on art, culture, politics, and life behind the scenes of a museum. Created by the Los Angeles Craft and Folk Art Museum, the blog is primarily written by its current Executive Director, Maryna Hrushetska (a blonde who vaguely resembles the blog's representative illustration). Written with a blend of whimsy and substance, Ms. Cosmopolite reinforces the museum’s worldview of building common ground through the universal lens of art. Discussion topics range from exhibition themes, social and political commentary, and all things Venusian.

The Ms. in the blog name is homage to both the group of women that founded the establishment in 1965 and the current all female full-time staff. Additionally, a cosmopolite is defined as someone who is at home in every culture; a citizen of the world; a cosmopolitan person; and magnificently embodies the museum’s current mission.
