It was mostly funded by private donations. Only $90,000 came taxpayers, via the National Endowment for the Arts. Though you have to wonder, if they were able to raise $1.2 million from private donations, could they have tried a little harder and raised the full 1.3?
Oh, where have all the grey cells gone? The live comments by the artsies in this video speak for themselves. So very sad…OTOH, it’s their money (well, almost).
