Shout-out to Mayor Nutter on the announcement of Helen Haynes as newly-appointed Chief Cultural Officer for the City, head of the OACCE -- the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy. Wonderful choice -- she's got the on-the-ground cred, having been an integral part of the cultural community for over 30 years, and, together with Cathy Coate, creators of the Philadelphia Cultural Fund 20 years ago. She is eminently approachable, not to mention a heartfelt supporter of the cultural community. Brava!
