It is important to understand that in the field, when you work in a cultural centre, you need to work regularly on projects. These are annual projects, and even if we plan to develop an annual project, no department will advance us the money we need. We need to divvy up the funds we receive. If one turns down our project and two accept it, how can we get our project under way? How can we make our project a reality? We are forced to review our funding plan and our programming and to start all over again.
