Meet the New Director of the NEA

by on · 1 Comment

Here he is, Rocco Landesman. Our guy in government.  He calls U.S. arts funding “pathetic.”  Nice.  And he comes from Broadway, which, of course, I dig.

His initial dig on Peoria is a misstep, but it looks like he got a good, national wallop for that. I don’t mind an arts guy that speaks his mind now and then.

So is he with us, or is he management? We’ll see how he does.

Good luck Rocco – and do me a favor: consider giving grants to individuals, not just mega-huge non-profits.
