I found myself in an unusual position. After submitting press releases since 1998, and always achieving at least 2-3 stories, I heard the sound of the crickets. I have been extremely fortunate up to this date. I am promoting a quality show, with a well received artist, so I know this was not the…
I have seen a bunch of postings about change lately, including my own. I am glad that other people in the arts are thinking about change. However, many of these posts are not officially sharing the actual change. They end with asking us to think about what we will do to change, inspiring another cycle…

We could use more adult summer learning experiences. While the kids may be off on their own summer adventure, adults may want to “play”…
Culture Track 2014 was presented at the Disney Hall recently. What was interesting about this article was the feedback from the attendees: Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) director Philippe Vergne took issue with the use of the word “culture,” and quoted the artist Carl Andre: “Art is what we do. Culture is what is done…
I normally do not post over the weekends, but after my last discussion from Thursday’s post, a thought popped into my mind in a new way. When I was a kid, my family was the upper, lower, middle class family. We had enough for the basics, yet at some moments, we did not have money…
