Because of the size of the museum, planning a long time ahead would be better for us. We don't have a curator at the museum, so with only five people working at the museum on a full-time basis, it would be very difficult. If we know three years in advance what the program will be, we will participate if the funds were there. It's not a matter of how much time we will have but what funds will be available. If there are only small programs of $2,000 to $3,000 per museum, it won't be worth expending all this effort, the investment in human resources, etc. That's why it's important to have a réseau, a group of museums all together. It could be by theme or by region, but if we receive funds for a group of museums, that would be more appropriate to develop a very nice program.
