Fiscal Sponsor: Experimental Station

The printing of this issue was funded by the MacArthur Fund for Arts & Culture at The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. Support for production, research, and staff came through a variety of grassroots initiatives, such as the Wants and Needs auction at UE Hall (December, 2009), Cheap Art for Chicago sale at Yollocalli (August, 2010) and EMPACT fundraiser at Wicker Well (September, 2010), and the organizations that purchased $10, $20, and $40 adlistings in this issue of AREA. Many thanks to the hundreds of people who contributed services and art for our fundraisers, spent money at the fundraisers and volunteered in roles ranging from DJ to bartender to driver.
