I am flattered to be NYSARTS' choice to be the equivalent of Dear Abby/Pat of the Arts Community here in New York State. Whereas in most industries, the rapidly approaching summer is a time for retrenchment our organizations are ripe with activity; festivals, concerts, classes, camps, outdoor art shows.
As we face some of the most challenging economic times in decades the excellent work that is being done in our communities needs to be sustained and supported. Where are the opportunities and what are our resources? Behind the face of challenges there new and different forward progression. Please post your thoughts and questions about fundraising, membership, personnel, boards of directors, summer events. Our Rural organizations through our Listserve have been having interesting conversations which I hope will transfer to this blog.
In addition to this ASK PAT column you may follow me on Twitter if you are so inclined. Twitter is a mini social networking program founded on the basic question of "What are you doing?" I haven't made my mind up about it though...as if?! Many seem to think that twitter is only a cellphone based site. In actuality one controls it on the computer with an option to link a device like a cellphone. I chose not to do that.
I am ready willing and available to moderate any discussion that ensues and look forward to being in touch with friends old and new throughout New York State.
