So, a few weeks ago while we were working on this project, I asked Adam Forest Huttler to post a question on the Fractured Atlas blog asking what types of bills artists find difficult to pay — either because of fundraising restrictions or because they’re just too expensive. My basic goal with this was toRead More
Fictional Foundation Fun, part II
So, yesterday we took a look at the $800 million Ortiz Foundation for the Arts (OFA), a hypothetical new organization focusing on promoting cultural vitality in New York City. After some discussion, we settled on a mission statement as follows: The Ortiz Foundation for the Arts (OFA) works to foster the visual, musical, theatrical, andRead More
Around the horn: Luck of the Irish edition
It is now spring break here at the Yale School of Management, and I’m in New Haven for a few days before heading out to California for a wedding and to visit old friends. Among other things, I am reminded by recent days what a difference an honest night’s sleep makes in one’s productivity. InRead More
Introducing a new $800 million arts foundation
Oh, if only if it were a real $800 million arts foundation! Instead, I refer to the Ortiz Foundation for the Arts, a project for my excellent Philanthropic Foundations class that just wrapped up last week. As anyone who’s read my Thoughts on Effective Philanthropy series knows, I’ve been interested in foundation strategy as itRead More
The Blogroll Revealed: Part V
And now for the final part of my series examining some related sites you may wish to check out. These are all blogs that I added to the list last fall, bringing the “Blogroll Revealed” feature up to date with all of the sites that currently enjoy a spot there.

What Do I Mean By An Artistic Marketplace?
In a recent post here, I threw around this idea of an artistic marketplace, as distinct from the market itself. I had thought I came up with the idea in one of my Thoughts on Effective Philanthropy posts from last year, but perhaps not surprisingly, I discovered that Adam Forest Huttler had articulated it muchRead More
Around the horn: March madness edition
Short and sweet, this time: Philanthropy News Digest highlights a few examples of non-profit newspaper models around the country. Cool story about Lower Manhattan arts organizations banding together to improve their joint situation, to the point of actually sharing audience and financial figures with each other. Well done, and hope it yields results. Leonard JacobsRead More
Is Disney World Art?
So, back in January my girlfriend and I went to Disney World. Neither of us had ever been before (though she was a veteran of both Tokyo Disney and Euro Disney). It was kind of an ironic journey; having been deprived of the iconic pre-adolescent suburban white kid experience growing up, we decided to claimRead More
Around the horn: snowbound edition
Quick update while I distract myself from the mounting tower of schoolwork that threatens to keel over on top of me this week: Newly graduated or newly jobless? Fractured Atlas is hiring. If you’re in the early stages of an arts administration career, this would be a great place to start. Vermont Arts Council directorRead More
The Backlash Begins
Sure enough, the ink hardly dried on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 before the predictable chorus of complaints could be heard regarding the inclusion therein of $50 million worth of support for the National Endowment for the Arts. Following a week of Republican mockery on the subject, one might have expected theRead More
