It was 10 years ago today that I posted the very first entry<\/a> in ‘The Artful Manager’ blog. Doug McLennan, founder and editor of ArtsJournal.com, had been interested in adding new content and perspectives to his news aggregation site. I had been looking for a way to publish more current conversation on the business of art — not delayed by publishing process or filtered by editor oversight. <\/p>\n

Doug and I had corresponded since he launched ArtsJournal. And together we decided that I would be among the first batch of bloggers he added to the site. I described the impulse for writing about the business of arts and culture:<\/p>\n

The world doesn’t work the way we thought it did, the way our common knowledge thinks it should, or the way our training prepared us for. Either the world is broken, or our eyes and brains aren’t seeing it right. One, I suggest, is easier to fix.<\/p>\n

This blog will explore the idea that there’s another way to see the creation, support, delivery, engagement, and advancement of nonprofit arts and culture. I won’t claim to know what it is, just that I’m looking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More than 1200 posts later, I am deeply grateful for the platform and the opportunity to post whatever I want, whenever I want, in short form or long form or hyperlinks. And I am even more grateful for the world of conversation this blog has opened up to me. I’ve met extraordinary people — online and in person — and learned so much from the comments and connections. Thanks to all who have shared their voice, encouragement, critique, and correction to the mix.<\/p>\n

I do not get paid for writing this blog. But the compensation has been immeasurable.<\/p>\n

I know that I’ve yet to find a new rhythm for my posts, since my transition to the faculty of American University and the new challenges of my evolving career. But I’ll keep posting. If you keep reading, I’ll be grateful. If you don’t, that’s cool too.<\/p>\n

Happy anniversary, dear Artful Manager. May we have many more to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
