My fourth and final semester at the Yale School of Management has begun, and classes-wise, it’s looking to be the most interesting yet. I’m taking Endowment Management with the folks from the legendary Yale Investments Office, which has performed in the top one percent of institutional investors over the past two decades; Philanthropic Foundations withRead More
On the Arts Czar question
As mentioned here a few days ago, there’s a petition going around, now up to nearly 200,000 signatures, advocating that the United States create a Cabinet-level position in charge of the arts and culture industries. This “Secretary of the Arts” would….well, I’m not exactly sure what it would do, but the main idea is toRead More
Michael Dorf for NEA head?
So speculates the LA Times. This Michael Dorf is not to be confused with the other Michael C. Dorf who also happens to be a lawyer, nor the founder of the Knitting Factory, which would have been an interesting appointment to say the least. Meanwhile, the whole cabinet position for the arts thing receives someRead More
Around the horn: pre-inauguration edition!
With Obama set to assume the highest office in the land Tuesday, the arts blogosphere has been swirling with ideas, petitions, and requests for input on how the arts should be incorporated into the new administration’s agenda. Now, finally, we can add to that some news: Americans for the Arts has seemingly met with someRead More
The Blogroll Revealed: Part II
Here’s the second in my series of posts giving you a little introduction to each site on my blogroll. For this go-round, we’ll look at some blogs that got added to my RSS reader in the early days of Createquity. As one might expect, these start to move beyond the music focus to include aRead More
Around the horn: 2009 edition
The Route 1 journey has been completed, and I’m now on my way back up after a celebratory couple of days in Key West (where I wrote part of this post). Strangely, it seems that goings-on in the world have not halted in my absence, so here’s a round-up of what’s been popping up inRead More
Response to Isaac Butler’s Close Reading of RAND’s State Arts Policy Study
So, as I’ve mentioned a couple of times here, Isaac Butler of Parabasis has done the first part of a close reading of RAND Corporation’s recent publication State Arts Policy: Trends and Future Prospects. He stopped after page 9 a couple of weeks ago, so I’m not sure if he’s planning on continuing, but I’mRead More
Around the horn: road trip edition
I’m writing from lovely Caribou, ME, where my girlfriend and I are resting after the first day of a rather quixotic quest to travel the entire north-south length of US Route 1. The towns of northern Maine are, shall we say, sleepy in the winter; we have the run of our B&B since we areRead More
The Blogroll Revealed: Part I
This is the first in a new series at Createquity. Ever since my first post over a year ago, I’ve slowly been building that list of links over there on the right (for those of you reading this on the web), and I continue to add new sites every few weeks. These are all blogsRead More
Around the horn: end-of-semester edition
Posting volume has been light as of late due to standard end-of-semester craziness combined with preparations for the SOM Philanthropy Conference, which thankfully went off without a hitch last Friday. I’m now done with two of my classes, however, and should be able to publish more frequently this coming week. The only one of theseRead More
