Around the horn: Johnny Weir edition
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. So far, Rhode Island’s 58% cut is looming largest, but Louisiana is close behind as Gov. Jindal wants to halve the state’s Department of Culture, Recreation, and [...]
On Vision, Ripples, Expression, and the Mysterious Other
Alarm bells are nothing new in arts circles. For as long as anyone can remember, arts practitioners have been fretting about the future. It’s understandable; after all, the arts have never been an especially profitable enterprise on the whole, and ever since the concept of the nonprofit arts institution resulted in the separation of our [...]

Follow on Twitter using hashtag #NEAcast, or if you don’t [...]
The 5th Annual Yale School of Management Philanthropy Conference
This past Friday, I attended the 5th Annual Yale School of Management Philanthropy Conference. I have quite a bit of history with this young conference, having co-Chaired last year’s edition and put together a panel for 2007’s (part I, part II). My report on this one, “Harnessing Resources and Leveraging Strengths,” won’t be quite as [...]

Tomorrow, December 10, the agency will unveil its new survey on public participation in the arts, highlights of which were released [...]

NEA Cultural Workforce Forum wrap
On Friday, I had the privilege to attend the NEA’s Cultural Workforce Forum, a convening of researchers who have recently led efforts to measure and understand the work habits and economic condition of individual artists in the United States. The event, though not open to the public, was simulcast on the Internet so that anyone [...]

Live from … uh … the airport?
It had been my hope to submit reports this weekend from the Net Impact Conference, where I was invited to moderate and present at a panel today called The Creative Economy. Bearing the theme “Changemakers, Innovators, and Problem Solvers,” the conference celebrates, draws attention to, and advocates for the use of business skills in service [...]
