In November 2008, I will be travelling on sabbatical from my day job with HI~Arts, the arts development agency for the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, to the US State of Arizona... all in the name of arts research...

Whilst there, I will be meeting and working with a host of cultural organisations - large and small, rural and urban - to find out just how the business of cultural and audience development works 'across the pond'.  I also gather there's some sort of election happening whilst I'm over there?!

Join me for my American adventure through this Blog... starting on 1 November 2008.
