The big take-aways for me were 1) informational interviews – do them, Often! 2) Linked in – Why aren’t you? 3) gone in 6 seconds – the time you have to make an impression with your resume. The panelists though very different were complementary and each amazing in their arena. Thank you Martin Vinik and James Weinberg (about that M&A idea!) Thank you Arts & Business Council NY for pulling together this informative and timely panel. It was well worth the price of admission.

However, the struggle is that arts organizations are still not viewed under the same social lens as those in the areas of environment/health/education. As an industry, we need to invest in building the case for the social impact of the arts and challenge the underlying assumptions of the existing 501(c)3 model. RSF Social Finance (http://rsfsocialfinance.org) is doing interesting work in this area.

Is anyone aware of funders out there who will support other types of entities?

]]> Comment on 4/21 Creative Conversation: Public (Art x Space) by David Koren http://www.elnya.org/2010/04/05/public-art-x-space/comment-page-1/#comment-677 David Koren Sat, 15 May 2010 03:04:10 +0000 http://www.elnya.org/?p=662#comment-677 Kianga, I think you're referring to an offhand comment I made on the panel that the difference between public art and street art is that street art is usually illegal. What I meant by that is that what groups like FIGMENT does is actually legitimize and make safe activity that in other contexts is illegal or would not be allowed. We love street artists, and many of them bring their art to FIGMENT, and because FIGMENT is there to work with the authorities and to set a general framework for the art, the artists are able to do what they do. The fact is that we live in a place where there are rules, and there are people who would rather that you didn't make waves. We make it okay to make waves. We encourage wild creativity and chaos, within a basic framework. To me, public art and street art are just terms that are used differently by different people, and depending on who you'd ask you'd get different definitions. What's important to me is to provide a forum whereby absolutely anyone can bring their art and contribute, no matter who they are, where they come from, what their sensibility is, as long as they are interested in interaction or participation. That's what FIGMENT does. I don't personally see any particular hierarchy between public art or street art. It's all legitimate, and all welcome.
