Exploring the Economy and the Art Scene in Philadelphia

I just wrote my first article for Region’s Business, a Business and Politics news magazine out of Philadelphia that’s taking the city by storm on both print and web. As a freelance writer, my first article was the cover story of the February 14, 2013 issue, all about the economic impact of art and tourism in the city and beyond. It starts on page 22 and includes interviews with the Directors of VisitPhilly.com, The Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, VisitBucksCounty.com, The National Museum of American Jewish History, and more. There are also two side articles, one about The Barnes Foundation, including an interview with Director/CEO Derek Gillman, and another about the Michener Art Museum and their upcoming Grace Kelly exhibit, including an interview with Director/CEO Lisa Tremper Hanover. I hope you enjoy. Please feel free to share and as always, referrals for writing and consulting work are appreciated. Many thanks.
