Well well this is going to be very relevant come graduation in a few years time and it is a shame that Arts Centres think that the only way they can be run is by volunteers, rather than giving an actual artist a job.

If we accept that the only people that staff art centres are the ones who can afford to work for nothing, are we really encouraging the arts? Or just giving people with enough money, unpaid jobs and saying to Artists either live on the dole or get a proper job.
I am not suggesting that all artists are employable, neither are all other workers employable, but it would be kind of apposite that you employ the some that are in Arts related jobs.

The Walrus and the Carpenter

And then Alice who always knew what to do, or thought she did:

"I like the Walrus best," said Alice, "because you see he was a little sorry for the poor oysters."
"He ate more than the Carpenter, though," said Tweedledee. "You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise."
"That was mean!" Alice said indignantly. "Then I like the Carpenter best—if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus."
"But he ate as many as he could get," said Tweedledum.

This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, "Well! They were both very unpleasant characters—" 

We never know what we should condemn until it is pointed out to us.
And then we are less sure again.
The Walrus and the Carpenter — Illustration to the fourth chapter of Through the Looking Glass by John Tenniel. Wood-engraving by the Dalziels.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand:
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
'If this were only cleared away,'
They said,'it would be grand!'
