My fourth and final semester at the Yale School of Management has begun, and classes-wise, it’s looking to be the most interesting yet. I’m taking Endowment Management with the folks from the legendary Yale Investments Office, which has performed in the top one percent of institutional investors over the past two decades; Philanthropic Foundations with [...]
This is the third in my series of posts designed to introduce you to the various wonderful sites on my blogroll. Last spring, I expanded my reading list significantly and added a number of sites that dealt more specifically with arts management and philanthropy. All of the sudden, I was much more informed about the [...]
As mentioned here a few days ago, there’s a petition going around, now up to nearly 200,000 signatures, advocating that the United States create a Cabinet-level position in charge of the arts and culture industries. This “Secretary of the Arts” would….well, I’m not exactly sure what it would do, but the main idea is to [...]
I’ve been following the story of GiveWell pretty closely for about a year now, and continue to find the organization a seemingly inexhaustible source of entertainment and life lessons all wrapped up into one. In case you’re joining us late, GiveWell was started in 2007 by a couple of young hedge fund refugees who were [...]

Here’s the second in my series of posts giving you a little introduction to each site on my blogroll. For this go-round, we’ll look at some blogs that got added to my RSS reader in the early days of Createquity. As one might expect, these start to move beyond the music focus to include a [...]
The Route 1 journey has been completed, and I’m now on my way back up after a celebratory couple of days in Key West (where I wrote part of this post). Strangely, it seems that goings-on in the world have not halted in my absence, so here’s a round-up of what’s been popping up in [...]
So, as I’ve mentioned a couple of times here, Isaac Butler of Parabasis has done the first part of a close reading of RAND Corporation’s recent publication State Arts Policy: Trends and Future Prospects. He stopped after page 9 a couple of weeks ago, so I’m not sure if he’s planning on continuing, but I’m [...]
Hello Scott, thank you for the question! These issues are addressed several times in the report, mainly in the section...
Hi, Ian! Just curious: did this study address anything regarding geography or age issues?
Thanks for putting this up on the web. I’d like to get the thesis if you don’t mind sending it. I want to...
