Mayor Bowser is launching a new Office of Creative Affairs, escalating a long-running conflict over arts funding in D.C.: http://bit.ly/32cSZQY
The 34th annual Mayor's Arts Awards, which were canceled last week—when Terrie Rouse-Rosario resigned from the D.C. Arts Commission—are back on. But the gala is no longer an Arts Commission program. It's been absorbed by the new Creative Affairs Office. http://bit.ly/32cSZQY
Arts policy might seem like small beer, but in D.C. the creative sector is a multi-billion-dollar industry. For the last three years Mayor Bowser has sought to exert greater control over the city's Arts Commission (and $23 million in grants). http://bit.ly/30nGe61
The new Creative Affairs Office will be headed up by TBD and overseen by Angie Gates, director of @entertain_dc and former director of @TheDCArts, who left the latter post after a censorship scandal.
So she'll have a function in the Commission's affairs:

On her way out, Terrie Rouse-Rosario—outgoing D.C. Arts Commission director and a Bowser ally—hired senior staff to newly created positions at six-figure salaries. Now, those senior administrators will liaison with Bowser's new Creative Affairs Office:http://bit.ly/30kzQfh
Again this is all D.C. kremlinology, but over the summer: —Council legislates autonomy for Arts Commission —Outgoing Commission director appoints mayoral detailees to permanent senior exec posts —Mayor creates new agency to liaison with Commission —Agency headed by mayoral ally
This week, D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson was supposed to meet Rouse-Rosario to discuss her staffing moves, etc., but she refused to meet with him.
