It is indeed state budget time, and AFTA’s Tim Mikulski has a helpful round-up of some of the early arts advocacy fights on the horizon for this year.

First, Guy Yedwab makes an important point about individual incentives (and inertia) getting in the way of systematic change. Second, [...]

Isaac’s done (with directing for a living, that is). In related news, Newsweek notices the burgeoning pro-am movement.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before:

It seems this is the week in which I realize I have been under a rock on a number of fronts. I don’t know what happened, but all of the sudden Crain’s New York is an essential source for creative economy news in the five boroughs. Here, Amanda Fung sews together a story about arts [...]
