This week, I spent three-plus days in Chicago to catch the annual Grantmakers in the Arts Conference. Some of you might remember that I blogged last year’s conference in Brooklyn for GIA; it was an incredible (and exhausting) experience during which I churned out more words in a shorter period of time than I probably willRead More
Around the horn: [in the general vicinity of] Ground Zero Mosque edition
I will be attending and blogging the NEA’s “Creative Placemaking” panel discussion this Tuesday from 3-4:15pm Eastern time. The panel features Richard Florida, Tim Jones, Rick Lowe, and Ann Markusen, and will be moderated by CEOs for Cities’s Carol Coletta. There will also be a webcast. I’m looking forward to finally meeting Florida and ColettaRead More
Interview with Helena Fruscio, Director, Berkshire Creative
Note to readers: today, I’m introducing a new interview series on Createquity. Every so often, I’m going to conduct some email correspondence with interesting folks who you (probably) haven’t heard of about issues pertaining to this blog, and share the results with everyone here. Since this is a new feature, please do let me knowRead More
Some news about me; and two events to check out next month
First, some fun news: remember that 20UNDER40 anthology we all heard about last summer, the one that got all those submissions? Well, one of those submissions was mine — and, all these many months later, it’s been selected as one of the chapters! Co-authored with Daniel Reid, who studied arts philanthropy with me in myRead 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
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
Around the horn: John Paul Stevens edition
Everybody’s talking about unpaid internships. Scott led things off railing against the injustice, Isaac follows up with posts here and here basically agreeing, 99 says interns should just suck it up, Adam Thurman warns against the dangers of getting addicted to free labor, Guy offers a perspective from internships in the software industry (where myRead More
Boss : Emerging Leader :: Funder : Grantee (A Bullet-Point Manifesto)
(Note: here is my second cross-post from this week’s ARTSBlog Emerging Leader Salon. The last time I guest-blogged for Americans for the Arts, my inaugural foray into the bullet-point manifesto format became the most-viewed post on Createquity ever. Anyway, the salon is now over, but you should still check out all of the great posts!)Read More
This Is How You Do It: Leading Through Changing Incentives
(This week I’m guest blogging for an Americans for the Arts blog salon on “New Strategies to Support Emerging Leaders.” The discussion is prompted by the joint effort to support grassroots emerging leader networks by the Hewlett and Irvine Foundations and invites a consideration of what role funders have to play in the coming leadershipRead More
Around the horn: Opening Day edition
So, thanks to Guy Yedwab for pointing out my foolishness around Google Docs: apparently I had made my Createquity Tipster spreadsheet viewable to everyone, but not editable to anyone except me. To edit it, you’ll have to use this form instead, which is probably a better call anyway (otherwise someone in a bad mood couldRead More
