    Also... and here's something to consider:

    Having met several owners / directors of local arts-based organizations (artists collectives, museum directors, gallery curators)
    I can say that these people, for the most part, believe that they and their organizations are much bigger than their localities. In their eyes the things they bring back to their localities are what enriches their communities.

    Now, coutner arguement:
    The local public rarely sides with this perspective. Often they will look upon those organizations with disdain for not supporting local artists / arts businesses.

    Again, there is most certainly two sides to this story.

    But personally... I might get a little excited if Pentagram were to do something in my backyard. But that's just me :)
