The McAninch Arts Center premiered their Frida Kahlo exhibit on Saturday in suburban Glen Ellyn. The museum and the town are ready to celebrate the exhibit, and the visitors will make their way to celebrate a summer of related events in what is being called “The Year of Frida.”

Reset talks to the director and the curator of the exhibit on what to expect and why Glen Ellyn was picked to celebrate the works of the internationally known Mexican artist.

GUEST: Diana Martinez, exhibit executive director
