Holiday Break, Sort Of

I am taking a semi break from posting this week. I have been asked to review a book so I am devoting some time to reading it right now. I am also working on some housekeeping issues for the blog. There are some rough spots that developed when I moved the blog over to Inside the Arts last year. I have been whittling away at them over the months but am trying to make a push for the home stretch this week.

I plan to be back to my regularly schedule by January 4.

Hope you have a Happy and 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.
