Marijuana: Patron Saint of the Arts

Tuesday, 12 October 2010 | by Pat's Picks

Marijuana is the new patron saint of the arts. Tired of relying on grants and donors for funding, a group of artists has taken matters into their own hands says the New York Times: they’re growing pot to fund their projects.  Life Is Art just sold its first crop for around $200 an ounce. Next year, they hope make $1 million to fund projects at the California compound where they grow and back in New Orleans where they sponsor a fledgling art program.
