Why is it important?
Cultural facility projects represent huge investments of time, attention, and money, and often distract or derail the arts organizations that build them. This book, and this commentary, explores the many sand traps and opportunities of building new buildings for the arts.
Perspectives
I've studied and consulted with cultural facilities development projects for much of my career, and I find the process to be rich and complex, pushing many arts leaders, board members, and civic leaders to the edge of their capacity.
