Time and Money

Backstage: "In the arts, corporate sponsorship is often problematic. Although institutions need and appreciate the funds, the money sometimes carries with it — whether real or perceived — the taint of commercialism and control.

Rarely does a major corporation spend a significant amount of money in a way that directly benefits fledgling artists — those who would seem to need the support most."
