No Jumper post this week as I have the great honor to be blogging on two other sites. Laura Zimmerman at the Minnesota-based\u00c2\u00a0McKnight Foundation<\/a> invited me to submit a post on the subject “What is the role of an artist in the world today?” for its new State of the Artist blog.\u00c2\u00a0My post,\u00c2\u00a0The Professional Lens: Are we a sector of underemployed \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcprofessional’ artists or successful \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpro-ams’?<\/a> <\/em>is now live. I hope you will\u00c2\u00a0find time to read it\u00c2\u00a0and comment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Additionally, Arlene Goldbarb (writer, speaker, social activist, and consultant) and Barry Hessenius (author, consultant, public speaker, and well know for Barry’s Blog<\/a>) have asked me to contribute to their online event, Clout: A Blogfest on Art and Political Power<\/a>. The question they’ve posed to guest bloggers: “The way we’ve been doing arts advocacy for the past 30 years isn’t working; what would you do to develop real political clout?” Arlene and Barry have done a terrific job priming this converation in the form of a debate between the two of them. Check it out at the link above; and I hope you’ll check back throughout the week to read my post (The NEA: An idea whose time has come and gone?<\/a>), as well as the posts by\u00c2\u00a0my\u00c2\u00a0fellow bloggers (all of whom I adore): Dudley Cocke (Roadside Theater), Roberto Bedoya (Tucson Pima Arts Council), and Ra Joy (Arts Alliance Illinois).<\/p>\n

My sincere thanks to Laura (and the McKnight Foundation), Arlene, and Barry for the opportunity to participate in these important discussions.<\/p>\n

I’ll be taking a hiatus from Jumper the next few\u00c2\u00a0weeks due to travel and other deadlines but I’ll be back in April, with the tulips.<\/p>\n
