The Artful Manager

Andrew Taylor on the business of arts & culture

Welcoming Doug McLennan

December 3, 2009 by Andrew Taylor

Doug McLennanI’m thrilled to have ArtsJournal founder and editor Doug McLennan in Madison this week, where he’ll be the final guest speaker in the Arts Enterprise class I’m co-teaching this semester, and the final public speaker in our Arts Enterprise Forum tonight at 7:00 pm at Overture Center for the Arts (free and open to the public).

Doug has been focusing deep thought and innovative work on public discussion of the arts and the future of arts journalism. And he promises to share some insights and big ideas at tonight’s public talk.

I hope to see many of you there!
