That's where I'm at, is Wisconsin is actually last or second to last in arts funding. And it's an absolute, absolute embarrassment. You know, States like Minnesota actually have a portion of their sales tax that goes to, like a heritage and cultural preservation fund where they actually fund art. So if this means that we are commissioning local artists, that they are paid well, that it can contribute to a broader creative economy, that it remains this kind of like active exhibition, I would consider it.
