I Will Be Waiting For My Nomination

No applications to the arts world today. Just silly idle speculation. Hard to wrap my mind around writing on serious topics during the holiday season. (Mostly because I am so busy buying gifts!)

According to BuzzMachine, the Pulitzer Committee has decided to judge submissions of breaking news and photos that appeared online only separately from mainstream print and broadcast media.

As BuzzMachine notes, blogs like mine that don’t report on breaking items are lumped in with mainstream stuff. But you know, in a few years they will come around. Perhaps by then I will be ready for my 15 minutes of fame.

I have been writing Butts in the Seats (BitS) on topics of arts and cultural administration since 2004 (yikes!). Given the ever evolving concerns facing the sector, I have yet to exhaust the available subject matter. In addition to BitS, I am a founding contributor to the ArtsHacker (artshacker.com) website where I focus on topics related to boards, law, governance, policy and practice.

I am also an evangelist for the effort to Build Public Will For Arts and Culture being helmed by Arts Midwest and the Metropolitan Group (details).

My most recent role is as Theater Manager at the Rialto in Loveland, CO.

Among the things I am most proud are having produced an opera in the Hawaiian language and a dance drama about Hawaii's snow goddess Poli'ahu while working as a Theater Manager in Hawaii. Though there are many more highlights than there is space here to list.
