I was really pleased to be in a talk with Bill Ivey and Congressman Jim Cooper (D-TN) yesterday at the Center for American Progress about the key issues that are facing our cultural industry. These issues are well articulated in Bill Ivey’s thought-provoking book arts, inc. I feel it is important for American cultural policy to fully explore the changing needs and cultural landscape that encompass today’s nonprofit arts, for-profit arts, unincorporated arts (like so many of our national choruses), and individual artists.
