Should Street Art Be Legally Protected? This Case Calls The Issue
The case is being closely watched because Vara gives artists the right to preserve their work only if it is of “recognised stature”. In November, a Brooklyn jury decided in favour of the artists in a verdict, in effect saying street art deserves protection even when, as at 5Pointz, thousands of works were painted over to continually make way for new art. But the jury verdict was only a recommendation.
Study: Huge Gender Gap At The Top Of British Theatres
The research, which looked at 33 venues, was carried out in response to recent conversations about gender equality, and in light of concerns from some SDUK members that seasons were heavily weighted towards male directors. The research looked only at in-house shows produced by the venues themselves, rather than visiting shows, and included productions staged by artistic directors.
American University Presidents Believe They’re Being Scapegoated
“It’s not enough anymore to just say, ‘trust us,'” Yale President Peter Salovey said. “There is an attempt to build a narrative of colleges and universities as out of touch and not politically diverse, and I think … we have a responsibility to counter that — both in actions and in how we present ourselves.”

Actors Union Does The Math: New Tax Bill Will Increase Taxes For Working Actors, Writers, Reduce Them For Big Stars
“Some working actors would see their taxes almost quadruple, according to an analysis by the stage actors union Actors’ Equity. The new bill appears to be regressive: the poor suffer the worst increases, the middle-class gets hit hard, and the wealthy benefit from tax cuts. The same effect will hit writers, directors and screen and television actors. Producers could be affected too, as well as below-the-line workers with agents or other significant business expenses.”
The Leaders Who Create The Future (“When Is The Last Time You Did Something For The First Time?)
One of the great satisfactions of being a leader is that you get to be a teacher, sharing the wisdom you’ve acquired over the course of a career with young colleagues hungry for time-tested advice. But when it comes to inventing the future, the most effective leaders are the most insatiable learners. Creative leaders are always asking themselves, “Am I learning as fast as the world is changing?”
Philosophy Is An Art. Making It Simply Academic Marginalizes It
“What makes philosophy such an endurable affair, in the West as well as in the East, is that it engages not only our cognition, but also our imagination, emotions, artistic sensibility, religious impulses — in short, our being complicated, messy, impure creatures. To be human is to be always caught in existential entanglements, to have to deal with hybridity and messiness of all sorts.
