The Spiral Gallery may happen, too. It is not dependent on government funding.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We also need a fund that can say 'no'.
In these difficult financial times for so many of our districts, as our local leaders strive to balance their budgets by cutting services, we would be irresponsible not to invest in the arts.
Obviously any group that has to have funding also needs to get attention to their issues.
The present government is very insistent that business sponsorship should replace government sponsorship of the arts. Business sponsorship won't happen unless you make tax concessions, which they won't.
I think funding risky projects is very important.
When it becomes economically possible, building will become montage.
There's a lot of politics over who gets the next allocation of Congressional funding.
If that doomsday scenario happens, will it help if you have heaps of paper money? I don't think so.
If investors are willing to fund the U.S. deficit, why wouldn't investors want to fund the press freedom deficit?
If the government mandates anything with a price tag on it, then it ought to fund the project.
