Wow.
So, Tom Garvey’s takedown of Emily Glassberg Sands’s undergraduate thesis on sexism in theater is pretty much a must-read. Now the ultra-articulate Sands had been in high gear from the very start of the conversation, but as I got closer to my concerns, she began to power-chatter at a nearly alarming rate. I kept tryingRead More
Introducing the Createquity Arts Policy Library
Over the next few weeks, you’ll start to see a new feature at Createquity: the Arts Policy Library. The germ of this idea came to me while I was reviewing studies on the social and economic benefits of the arts last summer while working for the Hewlett Foundation. As I said at the time, “It…strikesRead More
Around the horn: fireworks edition
Yay summer! This initiative to provide college students with real money to donate to local causes as part of coursework on philanthropy sounds totally amazing.

Creative Providence
On Friday, I attended the unveiling of Creative Providence, a cultural planning effort conducted primarily by Dreeszen & Associates over the past two years. A nice-sized crowd came out for the catered event at the Hotel Providence to see the Mayor of Providence, David Cicilline, Craig Dreeszen, Robert Leaver of New Commons, and Lynne McCormackRead More
