When writing The Art of Relevance , I knew I wanted to share a bit of his story and the ways artists negotiate the relevance of their own work.

Looking closer, I saw that each seat had its own handwritten label, telling the story of the Philadelphia cultural institution from which it originated. They were there for artist talks.

The program is an experimental playground that bridges artists, students, chefs, comedians, hairdressers, bartenders, dancers, wrestlers and even tattoo artists to produce a community-led event.

That's a more complicated question. It's a question of HOW we decide, not just WHO makes the decision. Committed teens lead the program and use it as a platform to host cultural events and creative projects for hundreds of their peers across the County.

It’s often confusing to wade through the choices: do I want the underwater pony show or the artist-led splatter tour? But there are other cultural and recreational activities with similarly small (or smaller) market share in the experience economy which are more consistent than museums price-wise.
