Congratulations to the latest class of Createquity Writing Fellows! You’ll be reading their contributions to the site between now and mid-June. Here is a bit more about each of them: Tegan Kehoe is a museum professional, historian, and freelance writer with a passion for helping museums be vital to and fully engaged with their communities.

Last week marked the end of the fall 2012 Createquity Writing Fellowship. You wouldn’t know it from this month’s posting schedule, but Talia Gibas and Jacquelyn Strycker have been writing steadily for Createquity since last September. My autumn travels forced some extended review times for a little bit in the middle there, but Jacquie and [...]
Becker’s statement gets at some of the main challenges in measuring the “impact” of a work of public art—a task which more often than not provokes grumbling from public art administrators. When asked how they know their work is successful, most organizations and artists that create art in the public realm are quick to cite [...]
Some food for thought as we navigate public debates about gun control, taxation, and the value of the arts (emphasis mine): [T]he study presents both observational and experimental data inconsistent with the hypothesis that political conservatism is distinctively associated with closed-mindedness: conservatives did no better or worse than liberals on an objective measure of cognitive [...]
Are you smart? A good writer? Interested in how the arts fit in to the bigger picture? Why not join this blog?

Our inaugural Createquity Office Hours event in Chicago earlier this month was a success, so we’re giving it another go in New York next week!

As you can see from my previous post, I get around a lot these days for conferences and the like. Meanwhile, the network of Createquity Writing Fellows past and present is ever growing, and we now have representation in seven cities from coast to coast. So we’ve decided to try out a new concept here [...]
Today, Createquity turns five years old. Huzzah! Since my last “blogiversary” post two years ago, Createquity has come a long way. Most significant has been the introduction of the Createquity Writing Fellowship program, which has been fantastically successful at diversifying the voice of the site, generating more content for the Arts Policy Library, helping some [...]
I’m going to let you in on a little secret (okay, maybe it’s not such a secret): for the better part of the past decade, I’ve been fascinated with arts philanthropy. Ever since I was a low-level staffer in the development department of the American Music Center, I wanted to know why grantmakers made the [...]
Congratulations to Talia Gibas and Jacquelyn Strycker, who are the fall 2012 Createquity Writing Fellows! You’ll be seeing posts from them starting this month and running through mid-January. Here is a little more about each. I love a writer who’s not afraid of taking risks, and Talia Gibas is just that. You would think that, [...]
