The Met, no, but there's a whole world of indie companies out there. We've done crowdfunding before. It actually works sort of ok because otherwise you're looking at corporate sponsorships which just don't exist unless you're a registered charity that can provide tax breaks.

We almost entirely subsist on gov funding but that seems to be shifting sands rn which is extremely frustrating after years of successful proposals. Austerity vibes at some levels for sure. So y'know, any port with an open wallet?
