About
The Muse Dialogue examines issues in the arts and explores the pressing questions regarding the role of arts in our lives. We seek to uncover arts experiences and share them with others. We hope to provide reflective commentary on questions of arts and society. In all things, we strive to be relentless advocates for the arts and so hold as our goals a celebration of all art forms, a reverence for the magnificent arts of the past, an appreciation for imagination and creativity in the present, and unwavering optimism for the art of the future.
As issues are published, we will nest them under the menu tabs on our home page. Those tabs will feature the issue title (e.g. “Vol. 1, No. 1: Family, Children and the Arts”) which leads to a table of contents. Individual articles appear as a menu under the issue title, and can also be accessed from the table of contents for an issue.
The Muse Dialogue is supported by the College of Fine Arts and the Graduate Program in Arts Management at Carnegie Mellon University.
The Muse Dialogue supports free expression of thoughts, contemplations and opinions on the arts. Views expressed in The Muse Dialogue belong to the author alone, and are not necessarily the opinions of any institution affiliated with TMD or of the editorial staff of TMD.

Enjoyed the well-written, thoughtful article by Alexandra Holness. “Good” street art improves one’s environment-bad street art just isn’t art!
