  Stimulus Money
A couple of local organizations get a small cut of the Stimulus Funds via the National Endowment for the Arts:
Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School
Adams, MA
$50,000
CATEGORY: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
FIELD/DISCIPLINE: Visual Arts

...

Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art Foundation, Inc.
North Adams, MA
$50,000
CATEGORY: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
FIELD/DISCIPLINE: Presenting
Darn socialists!
 
Comments:
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything, but I just don't get it.

Were the fields/disciplines of Visual Arts and Presenting really the only place these institutions needed some help? Granted they are broad categories, but they seem a bit esoteric.

And wouldn't you think those that dole out the money wouldn't wonder why funds weren't requested for infrastructure, text books, class room maintenance, teacher's salaries?
