The Artful Manager

Andrew Taylor on the business of arts & culture

Prepping for Denver

June 4, 2008 by Andrew Taylor

Sorry to be incommunicado this week, but I’m co-leading a major research project surrounding the National Performing Arts Convention in Denver next week (see my previous post). I hope to be blogging from the convention, if the universe does not conspire against me.

If you’re starving for blog content, there are plenty of other bloggers in the sea. Go fish.

    Andrew,
    You’ve probably already noticed, but I’ve been lobbing various types of communication your way, recently. It appears you’re a busy man…and understandably so! Best wishes on your research work for the conference (and we all hope you’ll have fun in Denver, too).
    We’ll look forward to your return to the arts journal blog when the time is just right.
