Creative America
I spent four years working on the Creative America Project which was about making creativity a national value and trigger for public policy and political engagement. I wanted (and still want) artists and creative professionals to lead in the public sector, including running for local office. Hundreds of people around the country thought this was a good idea. We ran three pilot all-day organizer/candidate training programs. About one hundred people attended those sessions and many were profoundly moved by the experience. I tried to make the project a tax exempt 501(c)3 organization – the kind where your contributions are tax-deductible. But after four years, our application to the IRS has not been acted on and so the organization dissolved. I believe the idea is sound and the activities contemplated perfectly acceptable for a nonprofit (if you're curious, check out the work of the conservative Leadership Institute). My profound thanks to all Board, Advisory Council and dozens of volunteers and contributors. A special shout out to the folks at YourPlanB who designed the CAP logo and web site.
