Perhaps he’s been too busy cuttin’ wax or spittin’ Sugar Hill Gang, but whatever the reason, Mayor Nutter has yet to resurrect the Street-buried Office of Art and Culture. As KYW observes, it was on his to-do list for his very first day in office: “Somewhere between the inauguration and the first lunch, I would re-authorize the opening of the Office of Art and Culture. It’s something that’s such a no-brainer; it won’t take much to do that.” While Nutter explains away the delay rather neatly, we’d like to think that perhaps he’s decided that between his DJing and ultra-viral MCing, he’s prepared to unveil his own damn self as our city’s one-stop destination for all things art-y and culture-y. I mean, surely he can paint up a storm, conduct symphony orchestras, and write the Great American Novel blindfolded, so why farm out that stuff to mere mortals? It’s called being a renaissance man, people.
