Three cheer...Bravo for public support for the arts! Three cheers: one for RACC, one for OAC, and one for the Trust. Okay, RACC deserves two cheers since it is also responsible for Work for Art. <BR/><BR/>The public sector is one category of giving that has grown in recent years. Let's hope that strong advocacy will ensure that our elected officials don't waiver in their commitments to investing in culture. <BR/><BR/>My only frowny-face on this topic is that the Cultural Trust timed rejection letters to arrive the day after the big press conference. I found out who received grants (and who didn't) by reading the press release online, before letters started arriving on Saturday. Bad form, in my opinion. I would think some arts managers would have preferred breaking the bad news to their staff and board members before they read about it in the paper. Plus, they could have been invited to the press event to cheer on their successful colleagues.MightyToyCannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523823158706838012noreply@blogger.com
