As part of the Arts Enterprise course I co-taught last semester with Stephanie Jutt, we had the great pleasure of hosting a public talk by Bill Ivey, director of the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy at Vanderbilt University, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, and transition team leader for President Obama’s arts and humanities policy group. In his academic and applied work, Bill has been working hard to rethink and reframe the place for arts, culture, and expression in a democratic society. And his discussion here brings real insight and nuance to the game.
Through a partnership with Wisconsin Public Television and their University Place initiative, we were able to professionally record the talk and share it on-line. Enjoy.
