It’s the last two weeks classes here at the Bolz Center for Arts Administration, so my posts will likely be patchy and brief for a little while. So many papers to read, students to place, projects to launch. In the meantime, here are some articles worth your attention elsewhere:
- More on the transaction value of art
Thomas Crow, director of the Getty Research Institute, talks about the implications of his organization’s current exhibit on the business of art (discussed in an earlier entry on this weblog). - Mergers and Acquisitions
Two smaller advocacy and service organizations are merging into Americans for the Arts, an organization that, itself, was a merger of the National Assembly of Local Arts Agencies (NALAA) and the American Council for the Arts (ACA) back in 1996. Through a $120 million gift announced in 2002, Americans for the Arts is positioning itself as the mother ship of arts advocacy in the United States. - Our True Cultural Icon
The Economist has a fascinating overview of Wal-Mart, the $256-billion purveyor of consumer goods.
Happy surfing!
