I know, I know, &#8221;arts&#8221; and &#8221;policy&#8221; together often bring to mind dry and detached discussions of standardized test scores and economic impact. But Bill Ivey has an alternate and rather compelling view.<\/p>\n<p>Former chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, and recent transition team leader in Arts and Humanities for the Obama administration, Bill Ivey is working to reframe the conversation about arts, culture, heritage, creativity, and policy, and reconnect them to the daily issues of expresive life. From his home base at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curbcentervanderbilt.org\/\">Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy at Vanderbilt University<\/a>, he is connecting the dots between the public sector, nonprofits, commercial entertainment, and community arts. And his recent book, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curbcentervanderbilt.org\/arts-inc\"><i>Arts, Inc.: How Greed and Neglect Have Destroyed our Cultural Rights<\/i><\/a>, blasts away at our traditional approach to the arts in American life.<\/p>\n<p>The event is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uw-artsenterprise.com\/?page_id=38\">one of three public forums<\/a> curated by the UW-Madison Arts Institute, and the special Arts Enterprise course I&#8217;m co-teaching with Stephanie Jutt. Should be a fascinating conversation. I&#8217;ll be facilitating the Q&amp;A with Bill, and with our friends from the state, county, and city arts agencies. The event is free, and open to the public. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmoca.org\/information\/directions.php\">Directions and parking information are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: We&#8217;ve just posted a 20-minute podcast interview with Bill Ivey online.
