Funding Up, But So Is Confusion

San Antonio is devoting more money to the arts than at any time in recent years, but “the people in charge of the money are complaining about a confusing process that might not be fair to everyone… Board members questioned the fairness of a scoring method that was supposed to weigh the merits of each group. They also asked whether it was appropriate to give large grants to organizations that hadn’t received funding in the past, while at the same time less money was being given to groups with proven track records.”
