Nick’s career in the arts began producing new works for the stage as executive director of Chicago’s Organic Theater Company, in 1980. He was the deputy commissioner of cultural affairs for Chicago under Mayors Harold Washington and Richard M. Daley, and the senior program officer for the arts and culture at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. He directed the Center for Arts Policy at Columbia College Chicago until 2008. At NORC at the University of Chicago he was commissioned to write a monograph for the National Arts Endowment, Arts Education and Participation, and he recently completed a three-year national study of teaching artists, Teaching Artists and the Future of Education (available at http://www.norc.org/Research/Projects/Pages/Teaching-Artists-Research-Project-TARP.aspx). He has written widely on arts education, including Putting the Arts in the Picture: Reframing Education in the 21st Century (2005). He blogs about the arts and arts education on Huffington Post, and he is a member of the team that is working on a new cultural plan for the City of Chicago.
