Flashback: Narciso
In 2002, just after graduating from college, I moved to Philadelphia to pursue a dual career in arts administration and composing.

Ding, dong
As of Monday, I have completed my first year of business school. I’m currently occupying my time trying to find a sublet in or around Palo Alto, CA, where I’ll be starting a summer internship at the Hewlett Foundation in the performing arts division.
In the next few weeks, I’m going to try to kick up [...]
late-April update
Some news and notes from Createquity land here. First, as I mentioned a few posts back, I gave a presentation at school on April 2 about economic development and the arts. I’m happy to email the slides to anyone who’s interested, but basically the takeaways are as follows:
1. Artists can be a driver for economic [...]
