Richard Florida one of the leading social theorists today believes that human creativity is the engine of economic growth. He argues that in the 21st century, cities that feed not just the business side, but cultural side will thrive.
While we have many really cool cultural opportunities in this city, small business people, so focused on their business often let them slip buy. Take last night for example. The first of the Art Center's rhythm on the River concerts was held on the grounds of the museum, to a very small crowd. Perfect night, perfect venue, but my friends in the small business community were too busy to be there...
Take some time to enjoy the city, and cultivate the cultural side! There are still 5 more concerts this summer, and Jazz Fest this weekend. Feed the right side of your brain, so your left can get some work done!
And thanks to Old National Bank who sponsored the event. Good to see them supporting activities which build a creative class!
