Around the horn: late edition
The orgy of blogging going on at the Grantmakers in the Arts Conference Blog and the Americans for the Arts Emerging Leaders Salon prevented me this week from getting out Around the Horn on its usual Monday schedule (or Tuesday, or Wednesday). Late is better than never, however, and so here is the latest round-up [...]
Public Policy and the Arts: Syllabus and Summary
As regular readers are aware, I completed an independent study on public policy and the arts for my business school program in the second half of the spring semester. What you might not have realized is that four of my recent mega-posts on this blog were actually written as assignments for that class: Deconstructing Richard [...]
New Haven arts policy study
I’ve mentioned previously in this space that I was working on a policy memo for the Arts Council of Greater New Haven as part of my independent study this spring on public policy and the arts. Today, I turned in the final version. I won’t bore you with the details, but here are the highlights [...]
Around the horn: June swoon edition
I am a ramblin’ man lately: in NYC yesterday, spent last night in New Haven, Boston today, Providence at this moment, Willimantic, CT tomorrow, back in New Haven for a couple of days, NYC at the end of the week — and then it’s off to Seattle for the Americans for the Arts Annual Convention! [...]
Lessons I Learned in Business School (Or, My Humble Attempt to Save You $150k)
I really didn’t know what to expect when I came to business school in the fall of 2007. I had lived my whole post-college life in the nonprofit sector, and most of that time was spent hanging around musicians. I was brought up by two ex-hippies who, shall we say, did not exactly fit in [...]
Around the horn: MBA edition
Createquity began in October 2007 in large part as a vehicle for me to share the novel experience of business school from an artist’s and nontraditional student’s perspective. That experience ended today, as I officially received my Master of Business Administration degree from the Yale School of Management, but Createquity will live on. Though the [...]
A talk with Ford Foundation President Luis Ubiñas
This week, the philanthropy world was abuzz with the announcement of the Ford Foundation’s new program priorities, culminating a two-year self-assessment led by new President Luis Ubiñas. Back on March 31, Ubiñas spoke at a Leaders Forum event at the Yale School of Management. I was fortunate enough to attend both that talk and a [...]
Around the horn: OMG I'm almost done! edition
I realized late last week that I haven’t yet posted about the classes I’m taking in this, my final half-semester at Yale School of Management. Two are carrying over from earlier in the semester: my Recording Arts class in the Sound Design program at the Drama School, and my nonprofit law clinic in which we [...]
Around the horn: April Fool's edition
Having returned from my sojourn out West and down South which included both a wedding and a bar mitzvah, I am now getting ready for the final eighth of my MBA adventure. I’ll share the final version of my course schedule once it’s finalized next week, but for now it looks like I’ll be pursuing [...]
