Fight to Win

Over at the LA Times, Culture Monster blogger Lisa Fung ask "What would you do if you ran the NEA?

The site displays a photo grid of celebrities. Just click on a picture and behold a pale horse read their mostly innocuous responses.

More substantive commentary about all of these issues can be found on Create Equity, a blog by Ian David Moss, a student at the Yale School of Management.

I was over there reading a recent post where Mr. Moss argues that complaining about the relatively small amount of funds allocated for the arts in the economic recovery act may be be self-defeating and negative. He says "the notion that this somehow doesn't represent a victory for the arts community is one that I just don’t get."

He links to a lot of related articles and it's a terrific piece all around.

By terrific, I mean interesting and thoughtful, because I totally disagree with him.
