VENUE: Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
Former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts and recent Arts and Humanities leader for President Obama’s transition team, Bill Ivey has been exploring the nexus of art and public policy for decades. But his provocative book, Arts, Inc.: How Greed and Neglect Have Destroyed Our Cultural Rights, and his continuing work both inside and outside the beltway suggest that nexus is missing essential connections. Come share his vision for a federal, state, and local public arts policy that reaches wider and digs deeper than the system we’ve come to know.
