It is very similar with La Filature because, as I said, we receive no grants.
What we receive in return from the organizations and the artists to whom we provide spaces and services is principally the fact that the artists come to us, and work and produce with us. First, there are costs associated with that. In addition, people help us a great deal in return in the form of their volunteer work, without which we would not be able to exist. We would not be able to fund everything if we did not have a huge number of people working as volunteers. That is part of what we get in return, and what allows us to maintain a certain level of activity.
Otherwise, it would be totally impossible for us to operate financially, unless we became totally dependent on grants for our survival.
