Lee Rosenbaum aka CultureGrrl spoke to Bill Ivey this week (Art Politico: My Interview with Bill Ivey, Leader of President Obama’s Arts Transition Team – CultureGrrl) Money Quote:
There are some advantages for artists and arts organizations to position themselves as unique, especially entitled, especially important. But I think there are also advantages to seeing artists and art organizations as regular parts of the economy. Artists are important workers. Arts organizations are important small and medium-sized businesses. I think if we consider them that way, particularly in this environment, we may get more benefit than if we play the exceptionalism card.
