I just want to say that the organization that I work at is effected by the meltdown of the US economy along with other factors. The method that we are planning to use as an organization is not only in getting the community to give back to the art but to find and hold on to the people that will become long term supporters/donors. This is one of the things I have learned during my fellowship at the KC and I am finding it very useful especially when living in a country where there is no support from the government and the international donors are in their “fazing out process”.
