Yes, absolutely. Most of our venues have to provide restaurant or bar services, or to offer accommodation, in order to preserve their cultural mandate, because there are not enough grants for culture. So, only with those sources of revenue can independent artists be showcased.
But we have a wide array of business models in our network. That makes it a network that some funders do not understand very well, even though there's a willingness to help, up to a certain point. It's a reality where a lot of education is needed.
