The Artful Manager

Andrew Taylor on the business of arts & culture

A necessary hiatus

June 13, 2012 by Andrew Taylor

I’m making my transition this summer from my long-time appointment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to a faculty position at American University’s Arts Management Program. The logistics and variables involved are too great to continue regular blogging in the meanwhile, so I’ll be taking a summer blogging break through August.

I’ll see you toward the fall, when I’m safely ensconced in my new digs in Washington, DC.

    Andrew,

    Wisconsin and the Bolz Center will never be the same without you. Wishing you only the best in D.C.

    With gratitude,
    Derek

    Bon voyage…or bon logistics if you want to be literal. Madison will miss you! Thanks for everything you’ve done for folks like me and the many classes before and after me.

    While we’ll surely miss you in Wisconsin, Andrew, I’m confident that this transition will only deepen our association and friendship. Stay well.

    That’s enough malingering. Say something interesting.
