arts writing archive

This archive is slowly being rebuilt as I work to pull various writing for other publications forward, as well as a few selections from the Dimensions Variable arts writing days which ran from 2008-2012. My goal is to have this updated fully by the end of 2021.

Most articles from my column Field Notes for City Arts Magazine are listed here on my CV. To read the two essays on Arts Ecosystems (project currently on hiatus), visit the Arts Ecosystems page on Bridge Productions
