I agree with this letter and encourage everyone to read it and to share it.

I do have one concern, trickle down economics never really works. We need to ensure individual artists are supported during this time and not focus exclusively on large institutions which is almost always the case. However, my concern is measured and I agree that without immediate support for the Arts you will see a cascading effect of financial and cultural ruin in the US and beyond. As I always say: support your local artist or you won’t have one.
