The Artful Manager

Andrew Taylor on the business of arts & culture

Traveling to NYC

January 16, 2006 by Andrew Taylor

I’m traveling to Manhattan this week for the Music & Media Forum and the Association of Performing Arts Presenters national conference. If you’re there, as well, come by and say ‘hello.’ At Arts Presenters I’m moderating a session by four of my MBA students in Arts Administration, on the topic of "How We Make Meaning," on Sunday, 3:00 – 5:00 pm, in the New York Hilton in Midtown. More on that topic later.

I’ll still be blogging this week, but wanted to get the word out, in case some readers were heading the same direction.
