America Needs a New System for Supporting the Arts
New Intervention Strategies Required
Bill Ivey, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts and now director of the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy at Vanderbilt University, calls for "a new model for building a vibrant arts landscape." He argues that the more than 40-year-old system of non-profits and matching grants has gone about as far as it can go, and that it's time to take on new challenges: "draw a bigger, more-inclusive map of America's arts system, redefine the 'public interest' in relation to the arts, and identify new points of leverage and new intervention strategies."
