Are they including the film industries in that count? Plus the rich people =
who've been trading in their paper fiat money that's going down the tubes f=
or priceless art during the recession. At least one of those has sold in th=
e last year for over 100 million for a single painting.

I just looked over the report on Americans for the Arts website which was=

We just got back from 30 Years of McKnight Fellowships Celebration.
There was a packed all of McKnight Artists. Our community, public
and private, supports the arts. You can read about the fellowships

McKnight Artist Fellowships
Support for individual artists has been a cornerstone of The McKnight
Foundation's Arts program since it began in 1981. We believe that the
arts cannot flourish or enhance community life without the ideas,
energy, and drive of individual artists, and that artists cannot make
these contributions without unfettered creative time. A fellowship can
help an artist set aside periods of time for study, reflection,
experimentation, and exploration; take advantage of an opportunity; or
work on a new project.
Currently, the Foundation contributes about $1.7 million per year to
its statewide fellowships, and additional funds support individual
artists in Greater Minnesota. In 2000, as a result of a statewide
artist survey, McKnight raised its annual artist fellowship stipend
from $10,000 to $25,000.
