I’m Selling Out!

Erm, I mean, I am featured on Goldstar’s Selling Out blog. A post with an interview they did with me went up online yesterday.  I had a lot to say and I give them credit for including it all.

They contacted me with the request right after Thanksgiving so it is been hectic preparing for that, plus writing my own blog postings, doing Christmas shopping….

In addition, Barry Hessenius asked me to write a guest post about what I had learned over the course of my career for Barry’s Blog.

Keep your eyes open for it. My guess is that it will come out some time around the new year. I guess I still have a lot to say because there is only about three sentences overlap between the post I did for him and the Selling Out interview.

I will be heading off to visit family for the holidays starting tomorrow. Not to worry, I have prepared and scheduled posts to appear as normal.

Hope everyone has a great holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

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.
