Lisa Greening asked if the Returning Artists received a stipend. Calla pointed out that they receive an $100 per day honorarium. Robert questioned after the $500 that we are waiting for from our past Washington University Artist. He said that it was shown in the report as income when in fact we had yet to receive the $500. This was a misunderstanding of the report because as Tom pointed out, the $500 listed was actually given to the Commission by Washington University. There was also a question by Calla as to the $150 listed on the report. Calla thought that she had recalled that the amount was $115. The two agreed to get together to discuss this following the meeting. Committee Reports
