Nashville Metro Arts Executive Director Daniel Singh has agreed to resign after less than two years in the position, reports WPLN. The arts funding agency has been under intense scrutiny over the last several months after it failed to distribute millions of dollars in promised grant funds. Singh’s resignation was approved by the Metro Arts Commission at a specially-called meeting on Friday. In return, he’ll receive a $200,000 settlement payment from the city government, which will prevent Singh from suing Nashville, Metro Legal Director Wally Dietz said during the meeting. Housing activist and former Metro Arts Commission Chair Paulette Coleman has been appointed as interim executive director.
