I’m Still Here
I’m still here. I launched this blog on December 31, 2010 and have written an anniversary post on or near New Year’s Eve each year since. These eight years have seen a lot of change – in the world, in … Continue reading
Cultural Infrastructure, Cultural Districts, and Creative Places
I was excited by the title of a recent post on the Americans for the Arts blog earlier this week. “Assessing Cultural Infrastructure,” would seem to be right up the alley of my interests in evaluation and creative placemaking, but … Continue reading
Danger, Will Robinson
As a child, I heard the Robot on “Lost in Space” warning “Danger, Will Robinson, danger, danger!” As an adult, I sometimes find myself in the precarious position of the Robot seeing danger signs before me, but being a human, … Continue reading
Trial and Error
I usually use my kitchen for cooking and have sometimes written about parallels between my cooking and arts participation. Recently I’ve started to use my kitchen to experiment with the craft of papermaking. This started on a whim when I … Continue reading

Devon Smith recently visited the ASU campus as part of the p.a.v.e. program in arts entrepreneurship speakers series. Her visit followed close on the heels of her blog about arts incubators and how they differ from business incubators. In response … Continue reading
Urban Density
I considered myself lucky when I flew into New York La Guardia last week from the south. I like that approach because it takes you right over the whole of NY Harbor with a view of the Statue of Liberty … Continue reading
Prague, Vienna, and artistic production
In the car today, my son asked, “how much art does an artist usually make?” We had returned less than 48 hours previously from a ten-day trip to Prague and Vienna, during which my children were exposed to more creative … Continue reading
