Is There a Problem Problem?
In a recent posting on artsjournal, Sarah Lutman asserts that the propensity for foundations to ask “What need or problem will be eliminated” leads to a “culture of pathology” that is “especially insidious for the arts.” Challenging, yes, but not … Continue reading
Kerry’s Question
Kerry Lengel, theatre critic for the Arizona Republic, recently posed the following question to me: “Is the business model for non-profit arts broken? If so, how can it be fixed – or replaced?” Our phone conversation was focused primarily on … Continue reading
