As I mentioned on the blog a little while back, I’m working in California this summer for the Hewlett Foundation. Though my internship started last week, I’ve refrained from blogging explicitly about work thus far because I didn’t want to violate any understandings of confidentiality. Nevertheless, I’m thankful that the staff has graciously and generouslyRead More
Got Milk?
What is with the arts field’s obsession with the Got Milk? ad campaign? I feel like every time the subject of an ad campaign or slogan comes up, Got Milk is immediately referenced–it’s practically the Godwin’s Law of arts marketing. At NPAC, I apparently wasn’t the only one to groan when I learned that theRead More
NPAC: Day 4
NPAC ended on Saturday with a “21st-century town hall meeting” in the Korbel Ballroom. I hate to say it, but after three days of excitement and promise, this one ended on a down note for me. It wasn’t just because the electronic point-and-click voting toys were the same ones we used in State & SocietyRead More

Live from NPAC: Day 3
[again, too busy to post this day of…I’ll be back with a wrap-up tomorrow!] One of the major features of the 2008 National Performing Arts Convention is the series of “caucus sessions” designed and implemented by an organization called AmericaSpeaks. At the first session on Wednesday we worked to define an overall vision for theRead More

I’m writing this from the second general session of the National Performing Arts Convention, which features an address from Jim Collins, author of Good to Great. Collins is a former professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and has a book that came out a couple of years ago called Good to Great andRead More
Live from NPAC: Day 1
[My apologies for the delay in posting these; it took a bit longer than expected to get consistent internet access here.] I’m here in Denver for the National Performing Arts Convention, an event bringing 4,000 artists, organizations, businesses, and patrons together for a conversation about collaboration and advocacy. Despite a rather harrowing trip here (myRead More
Saving Our Cultural Capital
On Saturday I had the privilege of attending Saving Our Cultural Capital: The Challenges Facing Independent Artists and Venues in Manhattan, an event co-sponsored by The Tank, Fractured Atlas, and the New School for Management and Urban Policy. This mini-conference focused on the creative sector’s economic challenges and contributions to urban life, something that I’veRead More
Hit it.
C4 is back with the world premiere of my new piece She Didn’t Mean to Do It, among several other awesome works, this Saturday at St. Joseph’s Church in New York City. Details at the website. I’m actually singing in this concert because the scheduling worked out enough for me to be a part ofRead More
Professionals vs. Amateurs (part 2)
One of the reasons I’ve found it challenging to keep up with Createquity at times is the sheer volume of material that my RSS reader brings me into contact with every day. Knowing that my colleagues in the blogosphere are generating so much high-quality material themselves makes me feel that much more pressure to makeRead More
