Want to work with me this summer or fall?

My employer, Fractured Atlas, is hiring cultural and technology research interns. We’re looking for a few individuals with a background or interest in the arts who are prepared to merge for-profit business acumen with non-profit ideals. These interns will work under the guidance of the senior staff to craft comprehensive business plans and software development functional specificationRead More

Around the horn: cliffhanger edition

Thank you to everyone who filled out the Createquity satisfaction survey last week. I’m still going through the results, but will have a wrap-up for you soon as well as a summary of what I’ve decided to do with what I’ve learned. In the meantime, it’s one more week of business as usual for AroundRead More

Flashback: Drum Cells

Since a lot of people taking the survey didn’t know what the “Flashback series” was, here’s a little refresher: every so often, I like to post an audio clip here to remind people (and myself, I suppose) that I once was and may be again a composer of musical compositions and impresario of artistic endeavors.Read More

Do you want this guy on your filmmaking grant panel?

I think you do. Per the New York Times, a grocery store clerk in Austin has watched more movies than you ever will: But Mr. Bourland, 58, has spent nearly a decade on a monumental task that he hopes will make his a name to remember in the world of movies. He has ranked theRead More

Createquity satisfaction survey

So, in case you missed it because you’re a skimmer (I know your type!), buried in the last post I announced a survey of Createquity readers. Some twenty-five people have filled it out already, and I am immensely grateful for their feedback. Would you do me a favor and join them? Feedburner tells me IRead More

Around the horn: Around the horn edition

Sorry about the light posting lately – I was traveling last week for work and “Around the horn” is about all I have time to write on weeks like that. Which brings me to a question for you all. About a year ago, when this blog had many fewer readers, I asked about whether theRead More

Live Place + Displaced webcast today

This afternoon from 2-4pm, I’ll be participating in the webcast of a conversation about community change in Long Island City as part of Fractured Atlas’s Place + Displaced program. Place + Displaced is a community cultural mapping and civic participation project that is engaging with several New York City neighborhoods in different stages of gentrification.Read More

Around the horn: Volcanic eruption edition

Whew! That’s a little better – things seem to be quieting down to normal after a frenetic first part of the week. I’m also happy to see that people are using the Createquity Tipster form now. Just a reminder – in case you haven’t been following for that long, I rarely write about actual artsRead More

Am I going to have to do these twice a week now?

I really hope not, because otherwise this site will start to become very boring. But sweet Jesus, there is so much going on this week that if I wait until Sunday to blog it all out for you I fear it will be next Sunday before I’m done. Let’s hope things start to quiet downRead More

The Future of Leadership

(cross-posted from ARTSBlog – my thanks to to Jean Cook of the Future of Music Coalition and Fractured Atlas‘s Adam Huttler for their contributions to this piece, and my apologies if you’re reading this multiple times.) We hear a lot of talk about the coming leadership transition in the arts. Baby Boomers are nearing retirement age,Read More
