Yes, we do, and we make a small amount of money go a long way! But public funding is always vulnerable to political changes, and there is a limit to the kinds of things the arts councils are able to fund. To continue the work we do, we need to be bringing in a mix of income streams to keep the organization viable. Having additional support from a variety of sources allows us to have a greater flexibility in the kinds of things we program and the number of people we’re able to pay. (Incidentally, all of our revenue and expense information is accessible to our membership during our Annual General Meeting.)
