Oh, please, there is a VAST difference between "funded" and "funded with $10 million".
Something that most people think of as an "art collective" maybe has $100K per year sloshing through it--and that would be a pretty successful one. One that has $1M sloshing through it would be outstanding.
A $10 million funded "art collective" is a rich person's playground or tax dodge.
