The new issue of the Grantmakers In the Arts Reader is really good. I just started reading this publication and have found it useful and inspiring. This issue features a number of great essays on culture, the role of the arts and civil society – all thought-provoking and, ahem, all things I’ve written about here, making similar arguments. Obviously there’s something afoot, folks.

For regular updates from GIA check out their blog called Economic Turmoil & Change …(how’s that for  a heavy name?)

[Yes, Ian, there’s another rant coming whenever I can find time to write it!]
