<div>Thanks Nick. its good to know that there is an option. the Art 05 event in total, cost About £60, half of that went on the beer. a majority of the other half went on publicity while the remainder went on tidying the place up.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>but there is an unresolved issue, in that Matilda agreed and enforced the decision that it would not financially support Art 05 or projects like it in the future. the issue is that the logic and reasoning behind this decision was never explained to me, even though i have asked several times and I'm asking again. as such i have no idea why art projects about matilda, by matilda, for matilda, failed to be financially supported by Matilda. i don't understand why Matilda believes that money spent on creating Matilda and publicising the space should be footed by the Individual.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>the whole point of Art 05 was to start to create an infrastructure for artistic and creative opportunities for the people who are denied them in the mainstream because they lack the skills and money.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>because of this decision I'm confused as to what Matilda is and what it believes in. i thought Art 05 was every thing that Matilda is. i would love to continue but i cant, because one, i don't have the money and two, i don't know what the criteria as to which projects Matilda believes it should or should not support and the way forward it wants to go.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>the question is, under this new structure would the Art 05 event have been financially supported? if not, why not? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And in answer to Dan's question, no the money wouldn't be spent on Artists fees, it would go on exactly the same thing it went on before, Matilda!!</div>
