A very controversial posit from Ezra/Janie for this list - the role of the
facilitator in the artistic process. Is the trust fund heiress who endows
a principal chair as valuable to the artistic process as the musician who o
ccupies it? Or is the artistic administrator of a major orchestra worth ha
lf as much as the conductor but 7 times more than the average musician?

Can the artist survive without a supporting cast?

Troubling concepts encroaching on Oboe Planet.

"If a patron buys from an artist who needs money (needs money to buy tools
, time, food), the patron then makes himself equal to the artist; he is bui
lding art into the world; he creates."
