About

Since its debut in October 2007, Createquity has been hailed as “revolutionary,” “must-read,” “important,” “lively,” “thorough,” and “so amazingly good it’s almost in its own category of resource” by readers across the web. A unique virtual think tank exploring the intersection of the arts with a wide range of topics including politics, economics, philanthropy, leadership, research, and urban planning, Createquity is your source for next-generation ideas on the role of the arts in a creative society.

Ian David Moss founded Createquity as a first-year student in the MBA program at the Yale School of Management. In his current capacity as Research Director for Fractured Atlas, a national arts service organization, he is managing the development of a cultural asset map of the Bay Area in collaboration with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Previously, he was a Rhode Island-based arts consultant working with clients on projects including strategic planning, program development, program evaluation, and data analysis. Prior to business school, he was Development Manager for the American Music Center. He is a composer and choral singer and founded two first-of-their-kind performing ensembles in New York City: a hybrid electric chamber ensemble/experimental rock band that commissioned works by classical composers for rock instruments (Capital M), and a choral collective dedicated to the music of living composers (C4). He was recently named one of two “younger leaders very likely to grow into major contributors to the arts in this country” in arts consultant and blogger Barry Hessenius’s annual ranking of the top 25 leaders in the nonprofit arts sector.
