A couple of weeks ago I opened my Sunday New York Times to find inside the newest issue of ArtDesk , a wonderful quarterly arts magazine published by the Kirkpatrick Foundation and distributed through subscription as well as to New York Times subscribers. The lead story (featuring a cover photo of Dolly Parton) is " The ArtDesk 100: 2024 Discovery List " - described as "Our favorite creators, thinkers, and voices—who give the best of themselves... Our honorees evangelize for a better world in a way that transcends their own success." And as I peruse this impressive list of leaders - artists and philanthropists, including luminaries like those in the title of this post - imagine my surprise to find myself included in this list! It was truly humbling and startling, since seeing me included in the list was the first I knew about the story. And of course, recognition like this is really recognition for all the folks that make it possible for you to do what you do, boa
